HB 68

Hi, so I went to the doc with a few issues, mainly being a general feeling of shit.
Had a rough year last year, emergency surgery, few relationship issues etc.
I have a nearly 2 and a nearly 7 year old.
Doc ordered blood tests, they came back at 68 hb, doc said blood transfusion, I went to the hospital but the wait was so long I had to abandon it because of child care.
Hospital redid the bloods and said they were now 70.
5 weeks of taking iron religiously and had bloods re done and they are still at 68.
I'm expecting the doctor to ring me today but I'm in a bit of a flap that they will think I've not been taking them or that there is something serious going on.
History..
Gastric sleeve 5 years ago could be preventing absorption?
Anyone had similar? Just looking for experiences really.
Thanks
