well its been a while and I have just been peeking in and out.. I'm doing really well now after 21 yrs with the first surgery and then having the scar tissue cleaned out and getting a rny in oct of last yr.. My teeth seem brittle.. the roots aren't holding the root canels I had several yrs ago... had to have one pulled today (thats number two) back in the horse and buggy days of surgery number one we weren't put on vit and calcium...now I feel like I take more pills than food... anyone else with this problem???

I am only 4 years out of a RNY and I have noticed my teeth are just falling apart as well, possibly a lack of calcium, I havn't done much research on it, however I do know I need to get some blood work done because its been 2 years since I have had a check up wheee!!! talk about living on the edge I still dont take any vitamins however, well, I do but only when I start feeling run down, then I take a liquid vitamin, because as a RNY patient, your body doesn't absorb as much of them as you would like, so you have better odds with the liquid, Hope it helps [email protected] ( I know a REALLY good tasting liquid vit, kinda spendy about $30 for a month, but it tastes ohhhhh soooo good!)
