Thank you, Nancy. I'm going to see if I can find someone a little closer to Sterling Heights but if I have trouble I'd certainly give this guy a shot. Thank you!

Topic: RE: Any recommendations for a SE area hematologist?
I go to Dr. Arora at the McLaren Cancer Center. Everytime I go in if I have my levels checked. I did go through a lot of infusion do to blood loss and being anemic. Now I just keep my levels where they need to be by using pills. However if my stored iron is to low that he will give me an infusion. I hope this helps.
Topic: Any recommendations for a SE area hematologist?
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had a hematologist in the tri-county area that has a good understanding of malabsorption in WLS patients? I went to see a hema on Friday since my iron is low (he acknowledged that I am anemic) but he won't give me infustions. He said that I haven't been taking enough iron (I was taking two Proferrin ES daily) and he told me to switch to 3 ferrous sulfate daily. I'm reluctant to have to wait until December to prove to him that ferrous sulfate won't do me any good. So I am hoping that someone here has had positive results with another doc.
Thanks
