Anemic? Really?

So a P.A. calls me this morning to tell me that my blood is low. She asks me if I've ever had Anemia. I have had issues with this over the years due to irregular cycles. Which were caused by PCOS; the PCOS is one of the factors of me gaining & having a hard time losing weight.....which is why I was having the Lapband in the first place. Catch 22 definitely. UGH!! So frustrating. I guess its time for the Iron supplements again.....I refuse to allow this bump in the road stop or deter my October surgery date.

I wish you the best with the iron! I too am PCOS and have iron issues... was actually rejected by my insurance and had to wait two months for my iron to be retested! Luckily the test went well and I have surgery on Thursday! Take the pill and it will improve and you will be set to have your surgery as planned in October! Good Luck!

Thank you all for the encouragement. I was just a little discouraged after that call because I don't want anything to hinder my surgery. So I really appreciate all of your support & kind words. :)
