I asked this in the other link, but maybe you could address it here instead:

You don't discuss carbonyl iron in your link - is there a reason to prefer the polysaccharide over the carbonyl at this point for RNYers? I ask because I notice that most bariatric specific iron supplements are at least partially carbonyl iron and the ASMBS recommends the carbonyl, so I'm curious what they look like side by side in terms of effectiveness/side-effects/restrictions/doses/cost, etc?

Well Pat Carbonyl is a mineral iron without getting too technical its an FE+2 iron making it similar in effect/restrictions/side effects etc of other "mineral irons" aka iron salts. Anyone who has read my information or heard me speak knows that I am not a fan of FE+2 irons by any name.

As for recommendations by ASMBS we see in another thread here where Humber Bariatric is "recommending" ferrous sulfate. . .and I believe, while not directly quoting you, more "paraphrasing" some doctors just don't know.

Digestibility and absorb-ability of FE+2 irons vs FE+3 irons is relatively new research (2008) but the stuff is out there if you take the time to look for it.
