Vitalady and her grads are really recommending we all take the time to watch and listen to this video.

Warning: The buffering and loading is a little annoying at first but please watch it and share with your PCP and anyone else you think will benefit (spouse or parent, etc). Also, she's a little off on her discussion of the DS (not surprising) but she's pretty good with the RNY. She hasn't gotten her mind around the dry D3 or dry A we need as malabsorbers, or the amounts, but maybe she's getting there.

Wow Gina.  I think everyone should watch this.  Very informative.  I agree with her being off on the D3.  I've read about most of this, but just seeing her presentation brings it so much more to life for me.  I think she is much more updated on RNY rather than any of the other surgeries.

Thanks so much for sharing this with us. 

Do you know of a way to print the screen shots that she had?  I would love to have a copy of them to give to my PCP-not that it will matter and keep for myself.

 Thanks Gina,

No wonder my INR (blood clotting time) is all over the place, since RNY affects vitamin K.  I switched to the dry D3 50000 units after listening to everyone on this forum *****viewed my labs.  The video really helped emphasize how important it is to stay on top of our nutrients.
