Daily iron support without the iron pill. Iron can be harder to maintain after bariatric surgery because you’re eating less and may absorb less from food. Low iron can also affect menstruating women, people who eat little or no meat, and anyone whose lab work shows they need more support. Why iron matters after bariatric surgery Iron helps your body make healthy red blood cells and carry oxygen throughout the body.* After weight-loss surgery, reduced food intake and changes in absorption can make it harder to maintain healthy iron levels. That makes consistency matter. The Iron Plus Patch offers another way to support your routine when swallowing an iron pill is difficult or your provider has recommended supplemental iron. Who it may be right for Bariatric patients looking for supplemental iron support People who have trouble swallowing traditional iron pills Menstruating women with increased iron needs Vegetarians and vegans who may consume less iron through food Anyone whose healthcare provider has recommended additional iron If you have low iron or iron-deficiency anemia, talk with your healthcare provider before use. Continue your recommended bariatric multivitamin, iron treatment, and lab monitoring unless your provider tells you otherwise.
