Good News and Bad News

Nov 19, 2009

I'm new to this site so this is my first entry.

Just came from my GI/PCP appointment.  This was my last appointment for medical clearance before my surgery date would be definitely scheduled. 

The good news is that my EKG, Chest X-ray, Endoscopy, Sleep Study are all normal but the bad news is that my hemoglobin level is very low.  I've been on iron supplements but haven't been taking them 3 times a day because of the "side effect" but if I don't get my act together and take them religiously, I won't be able to have my surgery!  That is NOT an option.  I've come too far to let this obstacle get in the way.

So, for now on iron pills 3 times a day no matter what the effects are! Yikes
