Hi everyone , Laura had her pre op last Friday and today the hospital rang to say she needs to have an iron infusion as her iron levels are low . She’s due to go for surgery for stoma reversal next Tuesday . I’m wondering what would caused this ? 

Her bloods were fine before her resection . Has anyone else had this issue ? 

Thanks

    Hi ,

    I needed an iron infusion after my stoma formation and before the resection. I was only borderline anaemic before. I suppose it might have had something to do with the operation itself, although I did not have the same issue after the resection.

    Kind regards,

    Yolande
