Does anyone know of a website where I might be able to get information about vitamin defenciencies in wls patients?

If you just google it tons of stuff comes up. What are you looking for??  I have a spread sheet that you can keep your labs on but my labs and your labs aren't the same I would say.  My WLsurgeon only does CBC and CMP, then I have Iron and Ferrin something along with a cancer marker.  I am not sure what RNY labs are.  If you would like to have the spread sheet I will try and figure how to send it on to you.  You just add your own stuff to it.  Are you sick or have you been having something going on that you need something?  Don't know if I can help, but will try.

Thanks Marylin, I have googled it and there are just so many my eyes started hurting trying to find what I was looking for.

I just had my labs done however results aren't in yet.  I haven't been feeling well this last week and so I was researching if I could be defencient in something?  I did find an article that kind of scared me cause I had a few of the symptoms listed which has to do with neurological problems which were casused my vitamin defenciencies in wls patients.  I don't want to scare myself so I'm going to wait until the labs come back which I hope is soon they had to be sent out to a special lab so it migh take a while?

Bev...

I'm sorry you're not feeling well, I hope you can get some answers soon.  There is a person on the main board who posts a lot on the necessity of vitamins and WLS patients.  I think her user name is Andrea U.  Unfortunately, that board gets kind of cranky and I only scan through it quickly to see if any new info has popped up.   I know she has done a lot of research on the vitamin needs and deficiencies in WLS patients. 

A word of warning, tho....I have never dealt directly with her and some of posts come across curt.  (She also has a tendency to curse.)  That's why I've never contacted her directly.  Here is a link to one of her posts on the necessity of vitamins.  It may lead you to other posts she has made and some of her links on vitamin needs.

Please understand, she's really researched this issue and has a lot of valuable info, but her way of posting and few other things offend me, so please be forewarned if you offend easily
I'm usually pretty tough but for some reason, she gets to me.
