Iron Infusions for low iron saturation

Has any one else had an issue with their iron saturation level post RNY? I've had 4 iron infusions over the last 8 weeks and my level keeps going down rather than up! I'm having issues with heavy periods as well which is what they are attributing the low iron saturation level to. I'm just wondering how many infusions I'm gonna have to have to get this under control. At $50 co-payment a pop, they are starting to break me!
