So I went to my primary physician earlier this week to get blood work done. He called me in today and explained to me that my hemoglobin levels went down! From a 11.6 to 11.3! I am so upset and discouraged. I am 30 days away from sx. I feel like I have literally overdosed on iron supplements. I've been eating liver, juicing fruits and vegetables that suppose to help increase my hemoglobin. So my doctor refereed me to a hemotologist. I have an appointment for next week. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he can help me get to at least 13.0 in 30 days. I know I don't post much just needed to vent to others that can understand where my pain is coming from.

Believe me I understand clearly what you are speaking about. I was so stressed out two weeks ago due to studying about the surgery too much. My husband had to actually band me from the RS site, cause it was taking a toll on me. I was on RS every time I got. But I had to stop stressing myself out like that cause it wasn't doing me any good neither for my blood level. But I am all good now just trying to be patient and keep my hemoglobin level up and running. I am scheduled for the 21st July but I will be there on the 19th. So please take it easy don't put your body under any stress.

Omg thanks for your words of encouragement. I'm supposed to be there on the 19th as well, I'm hoping I can get my blood levels where it needs to be before then. If you don't mind me asking what is your current hemoglobin level?

Hello checking in on you to see if you had your surgery? Are you ok and if you still working on your iron take some blood builder that got me from a 11 to 13.5 as of last week.

It's been a while since I've posted anything about my decision to travel to DR for my sx. I've been nervous and second guessing my decision. There's nothing more in the world that I want right now besides good health for my children and my pre pregnancy body lol. As I get closer to my sx date all I can think about is the what if this, what of that. I've been following Dr Medina. All I have seen is mostly positive things. I think I have more of an issue of traveling on my own.This is why I chose to start posting again, maybe I can get some feedback on anyone who has already taken this journey or about to take this journey real soon.

Had to postpone the date

So I had to reschedule my procedure date. I am a little bummed out. I am still a little shocked that I actually made this commitment. I just pray that I don't have any regrets
