Guest guest Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 We have a patient that had a gastric bypass about a year ago, and had multiple problems, so our surgeon reversed her to a gastric sleeve. She has been very malnourished, on and off tube feeds for the past few months and is now vitamin K deficient. Our PA is asking about what dosage to start her on to treat this, and I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Talbot, RD CD Registered Dietitian Bariatric Medicine Institute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
