I hope she understands our malabsorption and will give you a decent plan.  

Malabsorption was the main focus of our talk. I was so happy to hear her talk in this direction.

I hope everything works out well. That is one thing I am concerned about due to being post menopause and now a DS.  Let me know how it goes.  By the way, how much calcium do you take daily?

I started out taking 2,400mg a day. About a year ago I upped it to 3,600 mg. it didn't do a thing. I've now added K2 to my regime. We shall see what lies ahead.
