Lets hope so and I'm sure it helps with our weight loss as well!!

After gastric bypass, your hemoglobin* can drop significantly. My surgeon told me that this is completely normal. My blood-draw the day of my bypass surgery revealed a hemoglobin of a little above 12. After my surgery (the next day), my hemoglobin was 8.6

Fatigue and paleness are two of the symptoms of anemia. I'm unusually tired and sleep way more than usual. No wonder you were wiped out at work!

It takes a while for your hemoglobin to return to normal. In the meantime, it's important to take your iron supplements. Make sure you take the correct form of iron, such as ferrous sulfate, ferrous fumarate, and ferrous gluconate. Take vitamin C with your iron. Don't take any calcium two hours before or after you take your iron.

A hemoglobin test measures the amount of hemoglobin in your blood. Hemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen to your body's organs and tissues and transports carbon dioxide from your organs and tissues back to your lungs.

If a hemoglobin test reveals that your hemoglobin level is lower than normal, it means you have a low red blood cell count (anemia).

The normal range for hemoglobin is:

• For men, 13.5 to 17.5 grams per deciliter
• For women, 12.0 to 15.5 grams per deciliter

Restless leg syndrome and painful joints are also symptoms, which helps to explain the pain in your legs.

Yes you have that just right but,if is not hopeless. Follow your doctor's instrucions, give yourself permission to heal and you 'll emerge a happier healthier being. Buck up Buttercup it will get better and better!???
