DivaDee84 12 Posted April 11, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Afro_Cyster 74 Posted April 12, 2012 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.

thinoneday 445 Posted April 12, 2012 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
