Iron

I'm soooo friggin cornfused about this friggin iron!!! I need to get 325 mg of extra iron because I'm still menstruating. None of the supplements I see say "325 mg". They all say 29 mg of iron or something else but never the 325 mg. I have the Bariatric Advantage 29 mg ffom bariatriceating.com. What do you take for your iron supplements (if you need the extra iron)? Thanks! April

Wow, thats a bunch of Iron!!! My doc is cool with the 18 I get in my flinstones. Good luck!! Elsa

If you go to Walgreens and get Ferrous Sulfate you can get 325mg.

Hi iI had to ask my pharmist because in my area they keep it behind the counter with them. So if you ask them at the drug store they can help you i'm sure.Good luck to you.Tammy

Hi again. The iron i get is called ferrous gluconate. 324 mg tab. It cost 6.24 per bottle. But like i said i have to ask for it they keep it in the back. Tammy

Thanks to all *****sponded. I was looking through all my preop papers and I found out we have a pharmacist in the office with the dietician. So I can ask her. I don't wanna overdose or underdose(not a word!) on my iron. April
