Hi there! Just a quick note to say that I'm doing good, but just found out my iron saturation is an 11. Should be 15-55. The ferritin results will be in today. There is also a little issue w/my iron binding...it's high...not sure what that means. I work for a GI doc, and have an appt w/my PCP tomorrow. I just did labs Thursday and got the results Friday because we can call for them! One of the advantages of working for the doctors office...anywhooo, if the ferritin is off as well, then they'll scope me to make sure there's no ulcer or gi bleed anywhere. I've always taken my Bariatric Advantage vitamins, but never taken iron before, so am taking the slow fe iron from Walmart! It's spooky how it makes your stools black! I know TMI!!
Other than that, all is well. There is an upside, my cholesterol went from 275 to 242 last time and now to 208 this time. So, hopefully I won't have to be put on meds. I know if I step up the exercise...or even exercise at all, that would probably get it down where it needs to be.
