Long story short, I have been suffering with vertigo/confusion that I have attributed to possible anemia.

I called Dr. Kelly, and even though it had been a year since surgery (November 7th) he answered my call right away and spoke with me at length about what blood tests I should be getting done and what to look for. He was not defensive about the surgery either, just helpful.

He also gave me his new e-mail address unprompted, and told me to please follow up with him.

I am really glad I chose a surgeon who did such a great job and was so involved, but also a year later- when he has NOTHING to gain from being so helpful to me and responding right away, manages to still impress me.

So glad you are doing what you need to stay healthy & you are armed with information to get you back on the right track. Supplements are really important, are you taking them daily?

I am- I discovered I am not deficient at all, but my vertigo symptoms may likely be the result of an anxiety disorder that runs in my family (quite a separate issue).

supplements are important, but Dr. Kelly was fairly insistant that there was no need to inject Vitamins or go any other route than the stomach to absorb nutrients properly.
