Iron, are you taking it?

So I'm pretty convinced I need to be on Iron, but how much and what brand are you all taking. I know it caused me issues when I was pregnant. I'd also like to hear if others are not taking a supplement. Thanks! Renee

I am taking the 29mg passion fruit flavored chewable iron from Barriatric Advantage [I think that's the brand] I got my last batch from http://www.bariatricadvantage.com/ They have all the various supplements/vits we should be taking and formulated especially for WLS post-ops. Terry T in Texas

My surgeon has me taking Vitron-C. It has 200 mg Iron and 125 mg Vitamin C. The Vitamin C helps your body process the iron. I also had trouble taking iron before, but this doesn't bother me. I had to take it 3 times a day at first, but after 3 months, I'm down to once a day. Good luck, Vicki

My surgeon said as long as my bloodwork was good, I didn't need to take it every day. I take them once or twice a week. Linda
