I had my bypass in 2004 and I too have had to have iron infusions over the past couple years. I weighed 265 and weigh 175 now. I have managed to keep off most of it with the help of TOPS, Take off pounds sensibly. They are an internation group and in most places. I need th accountability that comes with weekly weigh ins and meetings. Since the bypass my iron has always been on the low side but only anemic over the last few years. They are checking me now to see if I have any bleeding going on. Colonoscopy and endoscopy November 15th, oh boy! I had an infusion in September last tear and need another one September this year. I have started taking a supplement again to help so we will see how it goes.
