Parathyroid Hormone
You may want to talk to your endo about taking dry D as others have stated. Since we do malabsorb fats it is questionable as to how much we would absorb of D that is in an oil base. I take dry D capsules.
I've heard/read that we want our Vitamin D levels 60 or above to make sure we absorb calcium.
You want to make sure that you take calcium citrate in doses no bigger than 500 mg (elemental) at a time spread over the day and separate from your iron by several hours.
I had primary hyperparathyroidism due to a parathyroid tumor which was identified prior to WLS so I know of it's affects (high calcium and high PTH).
