I live in the Dayton Ohio area and I need a support group. Does anyone know of one that I may attend. I had surgery July 2000 (263 pounds) and did fairly well for years. In the last three years I have been extremely iron deficient and have had two blood transfusions and one iron infusion. I am low now, my blood has been below 10 and will not come up without iron infusions. I take 1275 mg of iron suppliments daily and it just does not work. Therefore I feel sick at my stomach all the time and I have been grazing in the hopes that the sick feeling will go away
. I have about 35-45 pounds (I am now about 180-186 and hate it) that I have gained over the last three years because of the fatigue and sick feeling. I have fallen into bad habits and I need to get out of them. It is hard to do on your own, the people close to me do not really understand. They just say (my mother mostly) "you went through alot to be gaining weight again."
Any suggestions is greatly appriciated!
