Iron and Vitamin D deficiency

Hi! I have been struggling with Iron and Vitamin D deficiency since my RNY surgery on December 28, 2013. I have received one iron infusion and high doses of oral VitD but my levels don't increase. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you over come the problem? I'm tired of feeling horrible and sick all the time.

Thanks!

I have the same issue, I always feel shitty and my doctor and I have tried a lot of different supplements and infusions, and I still feel crappy, and have low levels. :( My doctor hopes that as I get further along my body will regulate it's self.

I am brand new to this site, however I am years post op my surgery was in 2007 and currently I still have these same deficiencies (and many more). I take 6 times the adult dose of Iron and vit D it has never really helped me much. The fatigue is awful it feels like I wish I could do this over and skip the surgery all together.

I second this surgery was 2005 and I am still severely anemic plus the two mentioned and several more I currently take ferrous sulfate and pre natal plus Vitamins etc., problem is it is not near enough, mal absorptive issues plague bariatric patients . Give me back my strong body and diabetes, that I could deal with easily, this....NO!

I fake bake and my d levels stay perfect!
