You're just following the pre-determined pattern of RNY without supps.

Anemic, bones in danger (high PTH), etc.

I don't see your serum calcium, iron, ferritin, vit A, D, or zinc there.

Well, there's a buncha stuff missing--or were those all in normal ranges?

,

I did have a bone scan (they thought I was nuts, I'm 37), it was fine.

Calcium 8.5

Doesn't give me iron, ferritin, nor zinc (I printed a wls lab list and gave

to my pcp, mustn't have checked those). A, B-1 ,D are listed as " inlab "

Thanks so much for getting back to me, kind of concerned me to be honest.

The foltrin is causing severe constipation even w/a stool softener and more

water (tmi I know).

Do I need infusions? Milk thistle? If so, when do I put in the milk

thistle in my daily schedule. Do proximals need 2 multi's a day? (I'm using

yours).

Thanks!

Lori
