Okay, before everyone starts scolding me, I do take my vitamins religiously, following my bariatric sugeons directions. At 12 months out all vitamins checked out, my iron was even high. So the only adjustment I made was to take the iron every other day because he said that is what I was supposed to be doing in the first place...oops! About a month and a half ago I be can to feel extremely tired all of the time so I went to my family doctor. He said I was "terribly" anemic ( his words). Anyway, he has me taking elemental iron 3 times a day and will test me in 2 more weeks, if it isn't high I will have to take iron shots. I also went to a homeopathic doctor to test me for anything I might be deficient in. I'll get the results about the same time. My question is, has anyone else still had absorption problems while taking their vitamins? And should I skip the family doctor and try to get an appt with my surgeon (he's always so booked that's why I haven't bothered)?
Sorry if this subject is out there somewhere, I'm not very good at finding things with the search feature on this site.
