Guest guest Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 Went to see my WLS surgeon for the 5-year check-up. He's retiring, so I may not see him again. It was kinda' emotional. He prescribed 2 ferro sequels per day, which is 50mg iron as ferrous fumarate. I told him I already had Niferex, which is 150mg iron as something else, and he said, fine, take two of those. I warned him they were 150mg each and he said, well, you need lots of iron right now. I also mentioned the chelated iron to him, and he said he didn't think it was as good for us for some reason which eludes me now and I didn't understand then. I'll ask again if I get a chance. I have an email into him about the difference between 100mg a day and 300mg a day. Anyone think 300mg of iron is too much? Basically, I think he knows I'll only absorb a certain amount and he wants to see what happens in the next 30 days or so. in Austin RNY April 1998 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
