Topic: Looking for a primary doctor...any suggestions?
 I had RNY done done over 4 years ago but it wasn't on Oahu.  My current primary doctor doesn't know anything about bypass patients.  My iron labs are very very low and he doesn't seem to understand that because of the surgery, I'm not absorbing iron like a normal person.  He continues to just give me regular iron pills even though they don't work.  My ferritin is now >1 and my hemoglobin is 8.6.  

Does anyone have any suggestions for a primary doctor who has experience with bypass patients or even a doctor who knows that to have iron this low is dangerous?

Topic: RE: Please help- Know where I can find Nectar?
Thanks Asia. I got the Nectar fuzzy navel at the Vitamin Shoppe in Pearl Kai yesterday. It tastes good but I felt so full and bloated drinking it. I think I should dilute it more. (I know, I was  trying to take some shortcuts, hoping I can get in all my protein ina quicker way but I guess it doesn't work that way). Thanks for your help.   Carla   (PS- we have got to make this board a little more fun, dontcha think?)

Did you find a Viamin Shoppe close to you?  I love that store.

I get mine from Vitamin Shoppe.  We have one in Kaneohe across from Windward Mall however if there is one in Kaneohe there must be one on your side of the island.  The strawberry kiwi and fuzzy navel are my fav.
