Anemia

[JCP 619]

Well, one month ago I found out I was very anemic so the pushed my surgery date back to Sep and put me one 120mg of Iron per day. Just under a month later, my iron level has gone from 20 to 53! (They want 40-60.) So that was my last hurdle! Pre-op diet starts in 3 weeks. Just having a normal iron level has given me so much more energy! Can't wait!

Awww good luck!! I was really anemia before had about 4-5 blood transfusions and had to get a shot every week, hopefully my levels don't drop again when I start to prepare for surgery

Oh my goodness! Transfusions and shots? You must have terribly anemic! Poor thing! I hope you are feeling much better now! Having a normal Iron level has done wonders for my energy and attitude. I was really dragging around!
