My iron levels are VERY low what can I do to get them back on track??

I am two years post op, I have lost 150 lbs, no complications until now. I am now on teporary disability due to anemia, my levels range from 4 to 8 (YES) I have been taking my supplements faithfully. I told my hematologist that I had WLS and maybe I need to take iron injections, but she won't budge. A blood transfusion is not an option for me. I am taking Procrit injections once a week to boost my energy, does anyone have any help for me??
