5 years out, dealing with regain and my iron has skyrocketed!

Hello, I'm currently 5 years out, I had gastric bypass roux en y, and it started out wonderful as far as weight loss goes. I've always been anemic but, over the last few months, I've started regaining weight like crazy and I can't figure out why! Also, a recent blood test is showing that my iron levels are through the roof! I so desperately want to figure this out, and somehow jumpstart my weight loss again, but nothing seems to be working. Someone, please help. I've never felt so hopeless in my life.

Weight gains can mess with your head, Right. This is a bump in the road. Just one more thing to overcome. Did you talk with your surgeon’s office about your iron levels and weight gain?

Yes it has caused my already severe depression to get worse. I cant figure out what is happening with my body but I know I've got to figure how to jumpstart weight loss again. Any tips on that? My doctor is aware of my iron and weight issues, but hasn't been proactive on helping me with it.
