    Low Ferritin

    The way they put it to me is they can't tell if my low iron is do to Mal-absorption due to the weight loss surgery or due to a polyp or a malignancy. Oh joy, huh? So the Colonoscopy is to cover the bases. I am not overly concerned though; I have had low iron issues in the past but, I would...

    I understand your frustration but this happens to everyone the weight loss curve isn't really a curve but looks more like a stair case. Plateaus are just apart of the game. Recently I was stuck at a weight for over two months, and nothing seemed to work. I tried more exercise and knuckling down...
