Will I have a problem post-op since I already have serious calcium deficiency?

Since the removal of my thyroid and cancer in 1994, I have had a serious calcium deficiency and with my arthritis, my DR is very concerned about osteoporosis. The bottom of the normal chart for calcium is 10.5 and at last test, my calcium level was 7.2. He keeps warning me not to fall because I will likely break bones. I keep reading things on the message board about calcium problems and I wonder if I will have worse problems post-op with calcium? Has anyone had any experience with this?
