I suspect I'll have "issues" soon too. I'm feeling funky and yeah have been lax on consistance of vitamins. This my friend is the time frame many RNYers see the tanking, some earlier but many at 4-5-6 years post-op.

Did you order your vits from Vitalady? I PROMISE I'll get better with mine.....I have some sitting on my desk now.

FYI - On the D3, I've been getting mine at Sam's, 2000 IU per tablet and taking 5 per day (through out the day). My D went up from 54 to 87 in less than 6 months. I really think that spreading them out has made a difference in my absorption of it.

I sure hope getting this turned around helps with the headaches and sleep. It's truly amazing how things are so interconnected.

Hey Baby, when you get a chance, e-mail the list of labs. Haven't had mine drawn in waay over a year

. And neither Bill nor I are faithful with our vits. We don't have a PCP that knows a thing about WLS. Last time I was deficient on D and B12, he told me to go get some of the "under the tongue" B-12. I said Dude, I take that every day, give me a shot. I ended up having to go to a creepy Internal Med guy to get a script for that!!

Love ya!

hey sweets!!! More than happy to send that list to ya. Will prolly be tomorrow, but will def get it done. Just a thought, I was VERY upset adn concerned about my gain as its my first since WLS and while i totally claim it (eating crappy, not exercising like i was when my 'kids' lived with me etc) doc said my whacked out labs had a lot to do with that as well. I know you and Bill have both express concern about weight gain in the last year... not bashing you in any way.. just a point to ponder
Love ya too and i swear i will kick BOTH your asses if you dont get on the ball with the labs!!!!!!

Good points to ponder! Bill is back on the losing track! Yay!! Me, I haven't been on any scales, but my pants aren't as tight as they were! I really need to find someone that knows or at least gives a damn about WLS!!! I will make an appt as soon as i get your list. I always used the one that I had through the support group leader board, but even then, this PCP doesn't do all the ones on the list!!!!!

hey lady!
So happy to hear you are both back on the losing track. This is definately one of those times where you have to be your own advocate... INSIST to have them run. I cant tell you how many times i have walked into the docs office with the lab sheet and shoved it in their face and said I WANT THESE RUN AND IM NOT LEAVING WITHOUT AND ORDER FOR THEM!. Who wants to deal with me lol.
Sometimes thats what you have to do! I will get that out to you this morning!!!
