My plan said 6th day after surgery to start multivitamin and 14 days after surgery for calcium, iron, vitamin D and b12.

Good luck!

Trying to not freak out over here and mostly works so far as I still need last blood work done to not get postponed due to anemia. I am sure my anxiety goes trough the roof when they confirm. Have been on pre-op diet for 12 days, lost 13 pounds so far. Some days are easier then other. Have trouble to follow time schedule for when to drink and "eat" my shakes during work. Nice to see surgery date buddies for 10th

I had some issues long time ago, where i needed to take iron supplement for a month, but never this bad and not in last 10 years.

Hello everyone! My gastric bypass is scheduled for 10th of October. I have been on a waiting list since 15th of February 2021. I got all pre op check ups done last year, but had final check up before surgery 2 weeks ago (nutritionist, anesthesiologist and bloodwork). All was in place. But then my bloodwork came back really bad. I have developed anemia and its severe enough they called my in to have IV transfusion plus taking extra iron supplements with my pre op vitamins. Have new blood draw scheduled on 4th, so hope things improve enough to get approved. My BMI is 50 so already had to start my liver shrinking pre-op diet, 3 week before surgery.
