There are vitamin's designed for men that don't have iron in them (too much

iron for " normal " men can be a problem for their hearts). I know that

One-A-Day makes one, and I found a store brand at our grocery store.

Mags, I wonder if it's the type of iron you've tried rather than just

any iron that causes the symptoms. When I had my original RNY, I had

spent a fortune on virtually every OTC iron out there, as suggested

by my first WLS, and every one made me sick. It was a year later,

when Dr. Gagner did my transection, that he gave me the scrip for

Niferex. I told him that iron makes me sick, he said, " This one

won't, " and he was right.

Just a thought,

Oh wow.. thanks all... I was overwhelmed so far with replies to this.

To add to this with more questions, I'm just wondering if it's a

commmon occurance after surgery, and for those ladies who are still

of that childbearing age, I know I was told to get in ferrous

sulfate, but since I can't handle it, I'm just wondering how are you

getting in that?? Should I be asking my primary to do some tests or

prescribe to me?

I'm sorry if I seem like I'm asking some dumb questions here, but I'm

amazed that I am getting answers for a change!! *G*

Thanks again in advance,

Mags
