Weight loss and Iron Infusions

I am getting an iron infusion on Friday, after being tested for everything by my GP and finding nothing but low Ferritin. Has anyone had one and noticed a positive effect on their weight loss? I've been stalled at 72kg for most of the year despite bi-weekly PT, measuring my food with a scale, cardio/HITT three times a week. My haematologist and gastroenterologist have cleared me of most causes of iron deficiency and are just going keep me in the high range of ferritin with regular infusions since I don't absorb iron from diet or supplements but it would nice to know if anyone else has struggled with the never ending plateau and was miraculously set back on track with an infusion.
Of course, the best response is that not only will it solve the plateau, but I will lose 20kg in 6 weeks. And I will be able to run a marathon while playing violin. Plausible?
