Hey Everyone!  Im almost 3 years out, down 200  pounds starting at 515.  Last 4 months been tired, dont care attitude, BAD tailbone pain, skin hurts to touch, more brusing, headaches.  Just had some lab work done that was WELL overDUE. 
Vitamin D was 8.0  Normal is in the 30's.  So now I know that Im deficient anyone have any issues on this.  And what did they do...Tomorrow is my dr. appt. with the doctor that did my GBS with FOBI

Hello,

Just do what your surgeon tells you to do.  I am 8 years out and my vitamin D was a little low, and it is because I don't eat a lot of things that are fortified with it.  Also, I had to switch my calcium (I was taking vi active, loved the taste and it was kind of a treat to take it).  Tell you surgeon what calcium with vitamin D you are taking and he will tell you what he wants you to take.

Also my tailbone hurt initially for about the first year.  I was 400 lbs and had a lot of cushion around my tailbone and one I lost the weight it was very tender for a long time.  But I do not have any problem now. 

Take care
