I'm reading the past, playing catch-up! I said this previously, but if you are a 30-something woman, you owe it to yourself to request a complex blood analysis and hormone (spit) test with your annual physical. I think we don't find these things until so much time has passed that we are in dire straits. Fae - I'm sending my best energies to you, especially some body absorption energies. Take your vitamins, please. I’m starting by saying I am such a dullard for not visiting more often. I’m reading the past, playing catch-up!

You know the analogy docs used that if you hear hoofbeats, it's probably a horse, but sometimes you need to watch out, cuz it might be a zebra? My doc yesterday said that with me, it's not just looking for a zebra, it's checking for a frakkin Eohippus! Good luck!

Yuck, I don't think I'd have your moxie:) My hematologist does it in her office, I think she's got everything she needs should I attempt to shrug off this mortal coil with anaphylaxis:) I also carry an epi pen with me, I just really hate them. I've been clean and sober for almost 20 years, and the epi pen makes me feel like I just snorted a gram of cocaine..it's terrible. I happen to love a book in my comments, thank you very much:) Kellie, thank you for letting me know. I'm hearing more positive than negative feedback, so I'll keep my fingers crossed that I'll be one of the lucky ones with no side effects!

Another pagan mom I know who had gastric bypass is Milenka, and she has to have iron transfusions. The woman my ex husband left me for(which I had to recheck with him on these facts, ugh, I hate thinking about her and the damage she did) well, she had to have a transfusion a month, she was also a bypass patient. They tend to do it at the hospital, so you would be in a good place just in case. People react so differently to wls, its funny. I know a woman who had it, who's iron keeps going up. I myself have my labs done every 6 months, don't take barely any pills, and have only put on pounds since I had it. I also had two kids and a divorce. I can have sugar and eat more like a normal person, not a wls patient. I never got skinny either.

This is my next step, and I have a good feeling about it. If it doesn't' work, I wonder if a blood transfusion would? Is that totally radical an idea?

I actually only have to take that and one iron pill and a Vit D pill every day. I don't know if it would work for you, but its worth a shot. I hated the isotonic vitamins too.
