Help!! Surgery in days

Hi family, I having surgery in 5 days. I still trying to get my vitamins before surgery. I still haven't purchased iron. Any suggestion on what kind to purchase and how much to take? Thank you guys so much for the continued support and always the kind words. Shon surgery in 5 days

Good for you getting in your vitamins now! It can only help with the healing process. I was told by my doctor/nutritionist to get Ferrous Fulminate not Feffous sulfate. I can only assume that our new rerouted insides absorb the fulminate easier. I personally did not take any iron until after the surgery. Here is wishing you a quick trip to the losers side!

Shon what kind of calcium and vitamins have you chosen? Still in a quandry...trying to see what others are buying....still waiting for approval...Hope everything goes well for you!!!

Caren, I take calicum citrate from twinlab chewable, and my vitamins I take Juice Plus chewables. Shon

SHOH IM SO PROUD OF YOU IRON IS A TRICKY THING I MADE SURE THAT MY PRIMARY DOCTOR TESTED MY BLOOD TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR IRON IS LOW MINE HAS BEEN FINE SO I DONT NEED IRON AT THIS TIME HOPE TO SEE YOU AT SUPPORT GROUP

Thanks Dawn Shon

B4 surgery the blood work showed my iron low and I was advised to take coldeeze (lozenge) but not a pill. You may want to ask ya doc on this cuz if not low I hear no need to take. Hmmmm I am having a prob with this also. Trying to figure how much iron to take. I take calium citrate from vitaminshoppe and Biotin and the multivitamin from there. I like that place. I just got some from Walmart but the price seemed the same. No real savings. Iron helps you heal though from what I am told. TTYL NAT

Thanks Nat, you really look great. Congrats to you and new hubby. Good luck with the TT also. Shon surgery in 5 days

Good luck to you, Shon! Dr. Procter told my wife and me to take Ferrous Fumarate. We found that it is in the chewable multivitamins. We get the Kroger brand. They have 18mg of Ferrous Fumarate in them. My wife had her blood work recently and everything came back with extremely good results. You may want to check them out. That way you can get the vitamins & the iron and not have to buy two different products.
