Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hey everyone. I'm 12 weeks out from my gastric bypass, and have been on Gleevec for 3+ years. My blood work shows a drop in my H/H and I am guessing it is probably from the gastric bypass, however, being on Gleevec probably doesn't help much either. Do any of you take iron supplements with your Gleevec to keep the H/H in check??? I don't think the procrit and such is necessary, just need a boost. Any input would be appreciated! Amy B.
