Has Anyones Process Been Delyaed Due To Vitamin Diffciency?



Recommended Posts

Right before submitting all my papaer work to my insurance they decided to do some blood work and my B12, b1, and b6 came back low.

I know how important it is for my Vitamins to be intact being that we lose some during and after surgery.

Has anyone gone through this? How long did it take for your Vitamin intake to get back to normal? Thanks! :)

Most Americans have more D3 and many women are low on the B's. It shouldn't delay things but you may want to check with your surgeon just in case. Good luck! (By the way, I was low too. Post op and after taking supplements, all my levels are good.)

I had the same problem. My dr. just had me start pre-op D Vitamins and I go once a week for B12 shots. It did not delay my surgery at all. Im getting sleeved 12/12/12.
