pinksjo1 137 Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Hi - Got my call from the nurse today. I will need to have another blood draw as my copper levels are low. My zinc levels are too high - so she told me not to take my multi for 2 weeks. I take the Bariatric Advantage multi. My Protein levels are a little low so I need to track my protein so I am sure to get the right amount of grams. So, back to the hospital to get blood drawn again... Oh, almost forgot. The dr said that I should set my goal weight at 180 lbs. And I can use the big bone excuse as she said its true in my case! YEAH!

Jencovi 261 Posted January 30, 2014 Interesting. Did she give a possible reason for having low copper? Is the BA multi not enough? That's what I have. I'm getting sleeved on 2/13. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinksjo1 137 Posted January 31, 2014 I just got back to work after having another blood test. Since this is a re-test, I haven't been told anything about why my copper level is low. I guess if this test comes back low, they will tell me something. I'll keep you posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinksjo1 137 Posted February 6, 2014 Just got a call from the hospital, my copper levels are showing normal. So, I have 1 more week of not taking my BA Multi and I have to go back to get blood work in 3 mos to check levels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
