I had gastric bypass in 2008, resulting in me losing a lot of weight and obtaining a hernia. I am at a place in my life in which I would like to get my hernia repaired and remove the extra skin and belly fat. I got financed for a the entire amount I had to use CareCredit and Medical United Credit. I am really excited to get this surgery, however, in order to get the surgery I have to get my Iron levels up 4 points. So I an currently operation Iron..... Iron however makes my stomach very very very upset. I have just struggling through it.

Congratulations on your weight loss and impending surgery! I have had to take iron supplements also with stomach issues and I have switched to slow-release tablets and it has made a world of difference. Have you tried that? Best of luck.

Thank you so much for your recommendation. I will try that also. I did a lot of research regarding iron absorption and it says that Heme Iron proferrin is the best. I'm going to try both.

I too have a lot of problems with iron. I am anemic more than not. I have always had problems taking iron too. About a month ago I was put back on iron for the same reason, I am again anemic. I told my Dr. how iron has always bothered me. She said to take it at lunch while eating. I don't know why but for some reason it is working so far. I am able to take it without the side effects of the past. Maybe you can try this to see if it helps you.

In my research I found some interesting information about gastric bypass and iron http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nHYyNUHzEDI so I purchased a different kind of iron/ heme iron.

Got my new iron in the mail....

I just got my Proferrin ES in the mail yesterday. I started taking it yesterday and it causes absolutely no stomach issues. I don't even have to take it with food. I decided to take it along with my regular iron supplement. I hope it works to bring my iron levels up. I have been dedicated to getting my iron up.
