VSG and low iron???
Just curious, I don't presently have low iron, did just after surgery though. I understand that the RnY often results in low iron issues down the road and have read that VSG can also result in the same low, but I don't read any posts in this regard on the VSG forum.
So, any sleever low iron suffers out there?
Nope. Mine was through the roof after surgery. I stopped taking an iron supplement after three months.
Now my iron and ferritin levels are in the normal range.

I never took iron and my levels were fine until 3.5 yrs out when it suddenly tanked. Probably would have happened regardless of my VSG.

I was low before surgery, and went lower post op. Eventually I found a supplement that brought it back in normal range. (patchmd.com- patch was the multivitamin one.)
