Hi,

So i have endoscopy tomorrow morning and i am on Ferrous Fumarate but i wasn't told by the department to stop them and the letter that i got from them didn't say that either but today i double checked with google and it says that iron should be stopped seven days before! So now i am totally panicking because it took me five months to get that appointment and i really don't want to loose it! I took only one of my doses today (out of three). If that will be a problem is there any way of helping my body to get rid of the residual iron?

    just tell them tomorrow and let them decide . Tell them no one told you and it was not on paper work they gave you. I bet they will still do it. and if it would put you in danger in any way then best you dont do it

    good luck
