Hi, I am new here. I am in the process of doing all the preop labwork and meetings. One of my labwork came back and my Vitamin D levels were Really low. My Dr. Put me on 50000iu for 8 weeks. Has anyone had this to them prior to surgery!

Hi,

I had the same issue before my sleeve.  I'm still taking 50000iu (my levels were so low I have to take them for 12 weeks) and didn't have any problems with surgery.  Good Luck to you!

yes, its very normal. Alot of people have to do it even if they are not pre op. once you are done with that regimen you will likely have to take a minimum of 2000 i.u. daily post op.
