iron infusion

[avanti 92]

Hi.. my 6 month labs just came back and my Iron saturation is very low.. it is currently at 8%.. and it should be between 15 and 35%.. the doctor is referring me for iron infusion..

i just wanted to know if anyone has had an iron infusion before.. and would like to know your experience.. this is the first time I’ll be having one.. and I’m worried about side effects.. especially because the oral iron tablets I take always make me nauseous..

With my lapband I had weekly infusions through a permanent port in my chest. I had NO side effects at all and you shouldn't worry. Get healthy!

thank you.. i've scheduled mine for 8/8 (next thursday).. i've always been anemic.. and don't know how it feels not be one.. been google-ing a lot about this and now i'm looking forward to feeling the real normal..

It's like when I got blood transfusions.. I left feeling like a new person because I was healthy again. For awhile anyway

Same here, I felt so good after infusions I wish i had gotten them sooner! Mine took about 3 hours from start to finish so bring entertainment.

I only wonder if it will cause Constipation like the oral supplements. Thanks.
