Asked By:nicolesam1 in Bradenton, FL

I have lipo 360 and fat transfer to my breasts scheduled June 11. I went for preop may 13 and iron tested 11.8, I was told to take 325mg iron 3x a day and go retake my labs in a week I did and it came out lower 11.3. I'm waiting to hear from my dr Tues. I'm upping my iron, taking vitamin c and eating foods more that have iron. Can anyone help I dont want to reschedule my surgery. I was told he wants me at a 12.
