First, you guys and gals are so awesome.
I know my anxiety is in overdrive, I need help determining whether this is an issue or not. I was concerned with my low iron stores 3 months ago, but the PA wasn't. When I went to my pre-op I again expressed concern. However she is not concerned. I did switch up my supplement and added Vit C so we agreed we would re check.
It was almost exactly the same!! Percent iron saturation 7%, iron 37, total binding capacity 513. She didn't take ferritin this time but it was 13 in late May. My hemaglobin though is fine at 13.
I really want a iron infusion as if my stores are still this low what is going to happen after sugery? Any suggestions? Or should I just chill and not worry about this?
