Vitamin D Deficiency



Recommended Posts

Okay, I need some help! So I have a Vitamin D deficiency and I have to take supplements once a week...I have severe head-aches & body aches...Do you think that this deficiency is causing this or something else? I will be one year out on June of this year.

I am deficient in Vitamin D also. I had my gallbladder taken out yesterday. Two of the signs of gallbladder failure is high liver functions and low Vitamin D. This could be diagnosed through your primary physician. So, if you haven't had it taken out already, please have a panel done.

Vitamin D is also needed to keep your liver and gallbladder functioning correctly. So if you aren't having problems now, please continue taking your Vitamin D so you won't have any.

You can also get your Vitamin D levels up by spending more time outside soaking up sun, not tanning, but just getting some sun on your skin.

As to the cold, it seems that it is common that many VSG patients experience a change in body temperature after the surgery. I haven't looked into the cause, but many do report it.

Hi, I suffer from severe Vitamin D deficiency as well as other malabsorption problems. Just take the Vitamins prescribed to you. . as far as the headaches, check how much fluids your getting in. . . dehydration causes headaches. . .up your Water intake. . .body aches could just be that, aches. It could also be caused from low Calcium and/or B12 . . .up your calcium and B12 intake a bit. . . your taking your calcium and B12 vitamins right? hope this helps

Thanks everyone! I am only taking Vitamin D..I was never told that I needed any other supplements such as Calcium and B-12....Hmmm! I had tons of lab work done and I was only lacking vitamin D..Everything else checked out normal.

Studies show weight loss surgery often leads to higher rates of broken bones. Take your calcium citrate.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
