Had my one year check up. Everything is great except my iron and related markers auch as hemoglobin etx were all very low. I am anemic and now on an iron regimen to rectify the problem. Im 173.....goal was 175 but want to lose another 10 or 20 to give myself breathing room. My surgeon agreed that would be a good idea. Thanks for all your aupport. I dont have a computer right now so it is hard to stay in touch. 

An oral iron regimen likely won't work but they have to try it before insurance will pay for an infusion. Hang in there.  

Looks like you're staying on top of the Bites.  

Thanks good to know. Normal dosage for an adult is 15 mg a day. I am on 110 mg per day. He is doing labs again in three months to check the progress. I am feeling a little better....i was feeling pretty crappy there for a while. I knew something was off. Good news everything else is great. 

I had to take upwards of 300mg of carbonyl iron and 24mg of heme iron to bring up my saggy numbers, and it took about a year to do. I'm glad he'll do follow up labs so quickly. Good luck!

There is a giant 61' rubber duck docked across the river from my work. So cool.
