If you've had bariatric surgery — whether a gastric sleeve, gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y), or duodenal switch — iron deficiency is one of the most common and most overlooked complications post-op. Understanding the difference between heme iron and non-heme iron could be the difference between thriving and feeling exhausted, cold, and foggy every single day. Heme iron comes exclusively from animal-based protein sources — the same foods bariatric patients are already prioritizing for protein goals. This is not medical advice, simply an informational video. Please follow all advice from your doctor. #pinkstork #ferritin #bariatricsurgery #bariatriccommunity #dealsforyoudays - @flnursetofucitaba2.0
