calcium discussion at ASMBS

[Guest guest]

Hi All -

Unfortuantely, I was unable to attend ASMBS this year but I am wondering if

there were any updates in regards to calcium supplementation in the post

bariatric patient in light of the discussion linking calcium supplementation and

heart disease.

Thanks!

I too was unable to attend this year.  Butmy nurse was able to go.  She said that each calcium supplement should be 4hours apart.  We currently recommend 2 hours apart.  Any more information onthis would be helpful.  Thanks From: [mailto: ]On Behalf Of dpetitpainSent: Tuesday, July 03, 2012 12:27PM Subject: calcium discussion at ASMBS Hi All - Unfortuantely, I was unable to attend ASMBS this year but I am wondering ifthere were any updates in regards to calcium supplementation in the postbariatric patient in light of the discussion linking calcium supplementationand heart disease.http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304708604577502660615577758.htmlThanks!Debbie Petitpain, MS, RDMUSC Bariatric Surgery Program_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
