VERY IMPORTANT NEWS,Take it from me....

I went for a check up the other day and they insisted that I have a bone density test.  They checked my spine and my hips.  My spine was fine, but my hips showed osteoporosis.

Please, please remember to take your calcium....with VITAMIN D if possible to prevent the same thing from happening to you.

I stopped taking my calcium about a year ago.  Probably the damage was already done, but *****ally knows?  I'm sure if I'd continued taking my calcium like I was supposed to, that it wouldn't have gotten as bad as it is at this point.  So, with that being said....

PLEASE, PLEASE take your calcium.  ALSO, remember, DO NOT TAKE YOUR CALCIUM WITH YOUR VITAMINS AND 
IRON.  I take mine at night with my night time meds.

Thanks for the reminder.  I want to add also if you are not having your Vit D level checked please ask your doctor to order that test.  A lot of of gastric bypass people are now having low Vit D.  Vit D is very important in the absorpation of your calcium.

Reminder to those who may not know:

If you do NOT take vitamin D, your calcium level may APPEAR normal but the calcium will NOT absorbed by your body, leaving your bones, muscles, and HEART at serious risk.
