I get to have IV iron on Monday.
A long term side effect for some post RnY. Low iron can really make life hard.
I didn't make it to the menu page but I went to Costco and bought yummy protein. It's like I'm living in a rainbow over here.
Yay, Deb!! I hope the iron makes you feel better ASAP!!

It always does. I'm glad you escaped that post op.
Deb how low does it have to go to allow you to get one?
Ferritin under 10 is what I need in order for insurance to pay.
Thanks. crazy I had low numbers for a few years and never given the option! Good to know for the future.
good luck to you!
I also has 9 years of documentation that I do not absorb pill form of iron. It's on my rather long diagnosis list.
I also got IV iron pre RnY because I had renal failure. I've played this game a long time.
So happy you are getting it. You will be feeling much better soon, which must be a nice feeling. Each infusion lasts a year or two?
edted your to you are!
For me they do.
IV iron. The pot o' gold at the end of a WLSer's rainbow.
You'll be like a kid again!
