Iron levels

Umm yea so what happens when your Ferritin levels are too high? Do they have you stop taking your Vitamins? Mine is at 583 ng/mL. Test results say this is the standard range 3 - 126 ng/mL

If you are taking a multi with Iron, they will likely have you switch to one without. They may also want to evaluate your diet (too much red meat? too many leafy greens?), other health factors, and possibly do additional testing to find out why its so high.

that happened to me once. They just had me cut back on my Iron supplements.

They make bariatric Multivitamins without Iron. Most companies make them. I take Pro Care health with iron but I know they make one without as well as one with a lower amount of iron.

Speak to your doctor but dropping the Iron supplements are the most obvious response. Is this something new or pre existing? What were your iron levels in your pre surgery blood work? Are high iron levels in your family? Hemochromatosis is a genetic condition & regular blood donations can easily help maintain your iron levels.

My Iron was too high as well and I was taking 3 multi's with iron and now I only take 1 with iron and two without. It'll take a while to figure out the regimen that works for you, so just work with your doctor and get their advice on what they want you to try.
