What's the point of a gastroenterologist?
I've been referred to a gastroenterologist about getting iron infusions, but what are they really for?
I just don't want to miss out on the opportunity of asking any pertinent questions, etc. TIA.

I'm guessing a gastro could explain why you need an infusion because iron supplementation wouldn't work considering your malabsorption. I think the other doc thinks you can absorb iron supplements and he's pushing you off on another doc.

Something isn't adding up. Why the gastro if the surgeon is saying infusion?

Cool - thanks, I've booked to see the doc again to see if I can get correctly referred.
