OK, guys, I listened to my answering machine this morning....the light doesn't blink any more. Anyhow, I got notice that I have "some" osteoporosis. I knew my bariatric surgeon suggested we have a bone density done yearly so I went in and had one done and there you go. So, does anyone have any advice? I will be calling and scheduling an appointment and see what plan of action to take. Does anyone have any experience with this? Not the news I wanted to hear but we will deal. Thanks for all your help in advance. Lisa

Ive got to have my bone test soon.  My doc said that if I showed some concern then I would have to up my calcium.  I know I have some bone loss from my ortho doc when he did an MRI a month or so ago.  He said that some bone loss was normal with such a drastic weight loss as we experience, but I am waitin on the final word when Dr. K. sees the results of my bone scan. Hey Lisa. .keep us posted.

Hi Lisa, I was diagnosed with "osteopaenia" some years ago when I had a bone density scan.  It is like the precursor to osteoporosis.  I was taking those preventative meds for quite a while but gave them up after WLS because they are so hard on the stomach.  I have another bone density scan coming up the first week of July and I will let you know what they say.  As Gilda Radner used to say:  "It's always something!"  (and my mom used to say "And it doesn't ever get any better!")
