Get some vitamin C when you get a chance. Buy any brand, the store brands are usually pretty cheap. But you do not need to wait until you get the C to start your iron.
If your doc says four hours away from calcium, that's fine. I do my iron at night right before bed, which is several hours after my last calcium.

I'm sure taking them at the same time will hellp with getting all your vitamins in. If we have to remember to take something ten different times a day, it gets really easy to forgot about one or two.

I ask because back when Thrifty's (wihich is now Rite Aid) had a food counter there was one week when they had a liver dinner special. And being as I love liver I ate there every night that week. And I suffered the consequences. To be delicate let's just say that suppositories were my friend at the end of that week...
The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery says that menstruating women need 54-63 mg iron a day after RNY and everyone else needs 36 mg.
And yes, taking large amounts of iron can cause constipation after RNY. We can reduce that issue by taking carbonyl iron or heme iron. Ferrous sulfate and the other iron salts contain a lot of, well, iron salts along with elemental iron. The iron salts are primarily what causes constipation.
