I have been wanting to get Liposuction done for some years now and have finally decided to do it. However I have been canceled twice due to my low hemoglobin levels. My surgery is schedule this time for 2/6/2018 just did my lab work on 1/10/18 and again my hemoglobin is low I’m a 11.7 and I need to be a 12. (Started at an 8) So in 2 weeks I will need to repeat my CBC and really hope everything comes back good. I just want a flat stomach after have my 3 kids by C-section I think I deserve it. I’ve booked my hotel and have been approved for time off from work. Today I have started taking my iron pills 3 times a day along with my one a day vitamin. I have 2 weeks to get to a 12. Do any of you dolls have any tips???

take your iron with vitamin c pill or juice it will help with absorption. and I would suggest getting Hemaplex blood builders and take them with the iron.

Welcome to RS! Congrats on your surgery date! I swear by Hemaplex, works great! I always take my iron pills with a vitamin c tablet too (on an empty stomach, an hour before breakfast or two hrs after a meal). I like hemaplex, doesn’t make you constipated. I think you will be fine in 2 weeks. Good luck on your journey!

Labs

So I decided to repeat my labs today last did them on 1/10/2018 and Hemoglobin was 11.7 and needed to be a 12. I am praying that my level is at least a 12 because I really don't want to have to reschedule my surgery again, just want to get this over with. I did do a finger stick at work and it said my hemoglobin was 13.6 this is less accurate then a blood drawn but I'm hoping its close. keep your fingers crossed for me:)

switching to Fisher

So I did my labs for the second time, hemoglobin was a 12.2 which is fine for Hasan however my MCV, and MCH is a little low, honestly I am tired of testing. Dr. Hasan wants me to continue my supplements and to test before my period which is scheduled to come next Wednesday. At this point I need to be cleared saying that my surgery is 2/6/2018. The coordinator Claudia has been amazing with helping me, she told me she could change my doctor to one who would take my labs like they are she offered Dr. Rami Ghurani which I did not want, I told her I was once scheduled with Dr. Fisher and that he was my second choice. She emailed me back later that afternoon and said that he would take me and I could even have the same day. I'm so happy this has worked out, and I am finally cleared for surgery.

Yay! Congrats!!! Less than 2 weeks to go! Does Fisher still charge $1,000 more than Hasan?

I’m not sure I originally was with fisher then switched to Hasan so when I switch back I didn’t have a price change

What did you do to build your hemo!! I'm at a 10.9 and need to get to a 11.5 with cell saver or a 12
May 4, 2018
I took iron pills 2-3 times a day with vitamin c as well. I also ate foods that were high in iron and that helped me. Good luck
May 4, 2018
Thank you!! I hope so if not I will have to put it off to December! I even got a b12 shot today.
May 4, 2018
How long did it take you? I have 2 weeks smh
May 5, 2018
It took me like a week and. A half but I was doing 3 times a day iron and vitamin c. I also drank orange juice cause it helps with the absorption of the iron.

1/10/18 I was 11.7 retested on 1/24 and I was 12.2
May 5, 2018
Oh ok good.. did you change your eating regimen or just supplements?? I'm so nervous I have two weeks to do the same!
May 5, 2018
Oh wait nevermind wrote too quick I see..
May 7, 2018
good luck
May 7, 2018
Oh man I'm so nervous to retest.. but I don't have surgery until 5/30 so I don't know how long they'll let me keep reteting
May 7, 2018
Do you think the b12 shot will help
May 7, 2018
I would ask your doctor about it because every type of anemia isn't the same, if your anemia is from a b12 Deficiency then the b12 shot would help you.
