Hi I was banded back in Jan 2005 I am very close to goal and I already went through my plastic surgery back in Feb of this year. The one thing that I have now is back in Feb. my doctor told me I was slightly anemic so I tried to eat better well I don't get hungry so half the time I just pick at my food, I am not tight I just don't get hungry, well the last 2 weeks I have been extremely tired and I have been getting head aches so I went to the doctor and he told me that my anemia has worsen, he said that normal is 14 - 15 and mine back in Feb was 11 and now its at a 9, well he told me to take vitamins and try back in a month to see how it is then but I really feel that I need somthing for it now, I feel sick. Has anyone had something like this since they have been banded???

Anemia in women of childbearing age is surprisingly common.

If you are getting lots of Iron rich foods, and taking Vitamins, you will need to have it looked into further, but if it does tun out to be diet related, it is super easy to fix.

I don't eat very much so I am almost sure its from my diet but I really don't get hungry and I am so bad at taking vitamins, since I was pregnant with my son a couple of years ago I get grossed out with any types of vitamins, thanks for responing.
