I just got back from Nor Cal where I was helping my sister who was just sleeved. I am tired...

My daughter is scheduled to be sleeved ( after two failed lap bands ) on February 16th through Kaiser. I was sleeved under our old insurance during the last few weeks of coverage and have had only one post op appointment, so I could use some sleeve experience.

I'll click on your facebook link. I'm sorta, kinda, not really in incognito....

Topic: RE: Iron or Ferrous Sulfate tablets

I was taking Slow FE a female iron. It wasn't working...so I got into contact with Vita Lady on here. Her name is Michele..apparantly we can't digest iron the normal way...I'm an RN. You need to read the label also ...you can't take it near other vitamins...It's Carbonyl Iron that we can only digest! You can't take it near milk or milk products or Calcium. You also need to take it with something like a piece of orange or banana. It comes back if you don't. It does work tho and it makes you feel good. I got it from Vita lady I bought two bottles and they should last a year at least. I don't take them every day but then I do eat meat. Which does help. I hope this helps you ! Patty
