tracie, cholesterol
tracie,
i don't know what to tell you as far as the iron, but the cholesterol i can tell you that my surgery was in april 2003. before surgery my cholesterol was great. the same thing happened with my cholesterol as you after surgery and i had to go on cholesterol medication and now it's perfect. what a nutritionist explained to me and my pcp is during surgery our intestines as you know are rerouted and often times that leads to that high cholesterol because of the way we're producing bile that goes to the liver. it's something to do with the surgery. talk to your pcp and you may need to go on cholesterol medication. good luck
i'm going to send you a private e-mail also in case you don't read this.
