Sending out a VitaLady distress signal!!
Hey there...need a little help. I know you've posted several times what you start your proximal RNYs on, but I can't seem to locate the thread! Could you help a poor soul out here!
I do get regular labs now, but shame on me, I've never requested to see them. Problem is my iron has been such an issue that the docs don't even touch on anything else. I'm going to get a copy of the ones from last week and I wanted your opinion on optimum levels, not just accepted ones. So far, this is what I'm taking daily:
3 CalMagZinc tabs total 1500cal, 750mag, & 45zinc (a bit large, looking for smaller ones or liquid--label says as carbonate, aspartate, & citrate))
6 DRY Vit D total 2400 IU
1 DRY Vit E for 400 IU
2 DRY Vit A total 20,000 IU
Sublingual B12 3x/wk total 3000mcg
3 Vit Shoppe From the Earth iron free multis (soon to be tossed-too big and too many)
Was taking HemaPlex for iron, but it was ultimately ineffective. My hematologist seems to think I'll never be able to absorb elemental iron and so I'm due another InFed infusion in 2 wks. I want to try the tender iron to sustain and/or raise levels, but once I get things where they need to be.
Thanks so much for your insight Vitalady!
Silly, you can't find it, cuz I've never postedit in a public forum! (which also means you're not nuts!) I change it too often, and so many ppl really don't know what actual surgery they have. Better to customize to fit.
Can you send me this email to my regular email so I can piece it out? [email protected] The PM's are also really bulky for me to work with.
Can you tell I completely was not Vitalady yesterday? No. I had long standing appts with cats and dogs who needed to take turns with my lap. LOL And 7 yrs worth of piles of photos to sort thru. LOL

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.
