IBS or Iron Infusions?

Hey everyone!  I'm 10 years post op, I've have a hernia with obstructed bowel, another hernia at another time, IBS, extreme vitamin/nutrient deficiencies which require iron infusions approximately every 8 months.  I was wondering if anyone else has developed IBS or had to get iron infusions as well?  Hoping everyone is doing well!

I already had IBS but have to get infusions about once a year.

I would seriously look at connective tissue disorders if I was you.  You sound just like me.  I had RNY in 2004 but was not Diagnosed with Hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.  More predisposed to hernias, obstructions, gi issues, malnutrition and malabsortion.  I have to get venefur every 8 mo and also get vitamin infusions weekly at my pcp office who knows nutrition.  The IBS may be diagnosis or symptom of greater diagnosis.  Can look up info on medscape or just google hypermobility ehlers danlos syndrome.  If want links just let me know.
