Does anyone have experience using chelated iron?

I've been using Carbonyl "Perfect" Iron since early post-op. My labs at 4 months were okay and I'm waiting on the latest results. But I'm tired a lot...I mean I'm way more mobile than I was when I was pre-op. Just don't have the boundless energy so many people talk about. I thought I'd try some chelated iron and see how that goes. I read online that chelated iron bypasses the stomach and goes straight to the small intestine so there's no irritation. Will this be acceptable? I appreciate any feedback ya'll offer. - Anna LAP RNY 7/3/02 -117lbs.
