A member asked:
I had min. invasive back surg. 3.5 mos. ago. my tibc is hi and iron sat low. could i still be iron deficient from the surgey?

Not really.: Blood loss from such a procedure should have been minimal and long since corrected. Why are you measuring such numbers? Do you have anemia? There are a lot of other reasons for these numbers to be "off."
