My doctor wants to insert a tube in my stomach to insert iron.

I have been suffering from anemia for almost a year now, even though I am taking all supplements my doctor has required. He now wants to insert a tube surgically into the part of my stomach no longer in use so that I can inject the iron directly in there and then into the intestines that are bypassed to absorb the iron quickly. Has anyone ever heard of this procedure?
