Vitamin deficiencies



Recommended Posts

Normally when you go back for your post-op appointment they take 5 vials of blood to check just about everything

They do blood tests to check your levels. Testing for Vitamin D is very common but you have to ask to have your Calcium levels or B12 checked.

I guess it depends on the physician because my lab report was 5-6 pages long and both were included

Right. I had my surgery done in Mexico, so I go to my pcp for tests. A bariatric doctor would know what needs to be monitored.

I wanted to post a follow-up to my earlier post. I got my results back and have a Vitamin D deficiency. It was recommended I do 2000 mgs. I live in Chicago so gettin sun in the winter is not easy. But I thought I would share.

      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'. ???

        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.

      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!
