Hi all,
I have been trying to find a psychiatrist all morning who does pre op psych evals for bariatric surgery and I keep getting shut down. Is anyone familiar with a psychiatrist in tri state are (ny, ct, ma) who does this? 

You prescribed it and I dutiflly filled it a few times.  But I can't for the life of me figure out what is in it.  So I stopped taking them, and am taking 3 of Feosol carbonyl iron a day.  (These:  http://www.drugstore.com/feosol-iron-supplement-therapy-carbonyl-iron-45mg-caplets/qxp198243)

In the AM I take a chewable adult vitamin (CVS Spetravites), 5000 IU Vit D3, a b complex, and magnesium.  In the PM I take the adult chewable, the feosol (3x45 mg), 1000 mg Vit C, and magnesium.  In between, I take calcum (celebrate chewable calcium citrate).  I try to keep the calcium away from my dietary iron sources.

Does that seem reasonable enough, if the only *real* issue with my labs was low (and dropping) ferritin?

Hi Casey...If I remember correctly...I do believe that Dr. Carlos Barba told us in his 'presentation' that if we came in with an ultrasound of our hernia...he would also throw in a tummy tuck...of course this is for his WLS patients.  I'm in the same boat sweetie....let me know how it goes!!

 I had bypass done Monday and today I have awful gas pains. I have tried moving, drinking my water. What else can I do. The pains are awful.
Thanks
