anemia and blood loss
My five year anniversary is this month. I lost 110 pounds but have gained 50 back. I am currently anemic and have had a colonscopy to try to find the reason why I am losing blood. I am scheduled for a EGD on Thursday. I am concerned that the EGD will do damage to my surgery.
My gas... doc was surprised that I had the surgery. He then went and checked my chart.
Anyone else had this problem?

I know this is an old post but I had the exact issue. Ferritin was down to 2. Had to get blood transfusion, central port and 2 complete rounds of iron infusions. I had my rny in Jan 2005. I also lost 115 and have gained back almost 40. How are you doing now? I just checked my level and it is 43, down from 86 in december.
