This is a really useful read... May I send a copy of your post to a friend who is not someone who has had WLS but struggles with this?

Ok if I'm reading this right I no longer need to set my alarm and take my calcium at 4am and then my proferrin and Prevacid at 8am.... They can all be taken together?

ETA: the only reason I set my alarm is because I am forgetful and will forget to take my calcium during the day...making sure I have lunch and 2 snacks while running all day is an accomplishment in its self... Never mind Meds too..... OOOO was that a train? Shiny thing! Pretty kitty...lol

Thank you for bumping this post up to the top so I didn't have to go searching for it.

I just came back from my 6 month appointment and was told that my iron was at 85 so I could stop taking my iron pills. I don't think that's a good idea so I'm just going ot keep taking it. I had low iron prior to surgery so I can't see why after surgery it would get better.

Thanks for the great info. :)
