Vitamin defeciency

Okay so I have not heard anything on my approval yet..grr grr...and I got a letter from the doc stating I need to take vitamin D tablets, one a week for 8 weeks, so I guess I cannot have surgery till I finish all those pills right??? talk about jumping through hoops...with all this jumping you would think I would lose weight..lol

I was Vitamin D deficient too.. I took 50,000 units 3x per week for a month to up my levels. Hopefully I can maintain the bump by taking the Calcium + D that I need. I have no idea if you'll have your surgery while you're taking them or not. I would assume they can still do the surgery while you're taking the meds and upping your levels.

I have to take 50,000 IU per week for 8 weeks then be retested.

It's not unusual for us Minnesotans to have a vit. D deficiency.  I take 1000 IU daily, and my levels were STILL a wee bit low when I had my labs done in April!  So I'm taking 2000 IU daily for a month, then going back down to my 1000.

Do whatever your doc recommends... I don't know if you'd be postponed for surgery because of it, but your doc will!   Whatever it takes, it's worth it.

I took the first of 8 today...yay....and i called HP and my case is still pending...she told me to call back tomorrow.
