Dexa Scan test

[Guest guest]

Hello;

I'm wondering what your experience has been getting a routine dexa scan

test (bone density) after one year. And also follow-up dexa scan's

after that.

Thank you

Ozzie,

I have had many bone density test due to my bones where breaking for no reason, and weren't healing, surgeries and screws, on and on. For your answer I wasn't with Kaiser at that time but my PCP had to give me a referral. I do believe if you need a bone density test you would have to get in touch with your PCP at your Kaiser and your doctor would have to refer you, your PCP would determine if you need this or not.

I'm just asking the group if they have the Dexa scan on a regulary

yearly basis. I'm sure that the PCP doesn't offer the test

randomly. But I know that the Dexascan is something that is

recommended to WLS patients yearly BEFORE problems arise with bones.

I am 2 years out, and have thinning bones. For a male under 50

that's not normal. I'm the one who insisted on having the Dexa Scan

test. That's why I'm asking the group if they've been encouraged to

get one each year, or if their PCP even mentions that fact.
