Long list of Lab Results...Input please? VitaLady?
I was finally able to get my labs done through my PCP and just got the results.
I apologize in advance that they are probably jumbled and a mess to read, I don't know what order they should be in to make it easier for you gurus!
My Iron is in the toilet and I see some other things that dropped and would appreciate input in helping me tweak. I had stomach trouble with Tender Iron when I took it, I wish everything would just tank bad enough to get an infusion at this point.
The September 2011 results are on the left and the last results, from December 2010, are on the right.
Here is my current regimen:

He quickly suggested Venofer iron infusions with no hesitation. He stated that us by-pass folks just can't absorb it. It was about the only time that I was happy to be lumped w/ RnY'ers.
So all that to say....Your numbers are sucky enough. Just find the right hematologist.
SW / BMI / SIZE: 312 / 49.5 / 26-28W CW / BMI / SIZE: 159.1 / 25.1/ 10-12
I need to lose about 2 more pounds for a normal BMI . I still seem to be slowly losing at over 2 yrs out...so may get there yet.
Guess I'll start the hematologist hunt! Thank-you and glad you found the right doc. :-)

If your vitamins A is high, reduce that to 1 capsule a day and retest in a few months if you can. If it's still high next labs, reduce to 1 capsule 3 times a week.
