Not sure why I didn't think to ask at my pre-op when they told me that. Just got to thinking about that today. I did just do some googling and said take iron in morning and calcium at bedtime. I will ask my dr too next week.

3/19: Surgery
Most people take their calcium throughout the day, since calcium works best with a meal, and then they take the iron 2 hours after their last snack of the evening.
