Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 I just joined this group--I am status post RNY in 2000. I appreciated the e-mails on ice craving because I too have been eating it like crazy. I just had my labs drawn the other day and I'm anemic. I don't have b12 or folate back yet but Hct is 31, Hgb 9.5, MCV 71, Ferritin 4, and iron 16 with a saturation of 3. I noticed I am tired and my hands are cool but basically feel OK. Just how quick do I need to get to a hematologist? I have been on b12 shots since 1 year post op. Are iron transfusions necessary when you get to the levels I am at and are they a big deal? Thanks a million and it really helps to know I am not alone!!--Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
