Six week check up

So, I went to the surgeon for my 6 week check up and I have lost 25 pounds since surgery. Yay!! But, my iron is really low so they gave me 2 options. 1. Get an iron infusion. 2. Start taking iron pills. Has anyone else faced this dilema??

Well, it wasn't exactly my iron that was low, but my hemoglobin, so they did put me on Iron pills. I have to take them 3 times a week and every day during my TOM. Seems like I do feel better and am not so light headed if I bend over and stand up too quick.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply! I have been exhausted since my surgery. I thought it was just the normal course but I guess it's a little more.
