Calcium - why citrate

I was banded 12/7/12. Anyone know why we have to take calcium citrate and not carbonate?

    You should know that there are two types of calcium, calcium carbonate and calcium citrate. Calcium citrate is absorbed much more easily and is the kind of calcium gastric bypass/lapband patients need. When purchasing a calcium supplement, make sure you read the bottle to see what type of calcium you are buying.

    I google search it for you.

    Thank you for replying so quickly. I have been taking the carbonate one I'm hoping it won't cause any problems but I will head out to the store to purchase the correct one.
