Any Honolulu Hematologists???
Hi All
My name is Cindy and am 2 years post op. Recently I was diagnosed as B12 deficient and anemic. I am trying to find a Hematologist to see to get this under control but would really like one with Gastric Bypass experience due to our malabsorbtion issues or someone very trainable. HAs anyone here gone to anyone they would suggest??
By the way, I am the friend Dee was mentioning who set up a Yahoo Hawaii Support Group. We both discovered we weren't the only ones in Hawaii who could not find a support group and thought we would do something about it. I have found tons of support through the different online support groups and would love to meet more people in Hawaii. Please come visit us at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Hawaii-OSSG/
In the meantime any help anyone could give me with a hematologist name would be tremendously helpful. I really need to get into someone to talk about possible Iron IV infusions as quickly as possible.

Cindy,
I do not know of any in your area - but will pass the word on that you need one.
I just posted to Dee's post about the support group. I train all the support group leaders here at ObesityHelp. I know there are other WLS people there and would love to have a support group. Maybe both of you would like to start one together. Talk to her about it and let me know. We are also thinking of coming to HI for an event there on Nov. , 2006 - Would you like that? Let me know.
