Guest guest Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 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?

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 , 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
