I am in the pre op faze- I just got a batch of labs done-

I knew my lipids would be high, but I was shocked to see that my Vitamin D level was at 15! It said range 30-50.

Just wondering what you think Doc will do, we are still waiting for one other lab that's not resulted yet.

Also, being new to this site- I see on the app that I have notifications, but I can't find them in the feed- (?) iPhone is what I have.

Hey First I'll say good luck you'll be fine!!

Now as for the Vitamins no worries all the doc will do is have you take what ever Vitamins you are missing or in levels until it is at an approval level . Once you have completed that part you'll be approved and moved on to the next step.

When I was in the beginning stages I was low in B12 and my doc made me take the Vitamin shot and than as I said I was pushed to the next step .

As for this site you'll find your notifications in were it's says ... " More"

Hey first off Good Luck!!

As for your Vitamins your doc is just going to make you take the Vitamins you are low in or missing and once your levels have been elevated to an approval level your doc will move you to the next step to proceed with your surgery no biggie.

When I was in the beginning stages I too was low in vitamins , I was low in B12 and as I said I was directed to take the missing vits and that was that .

As for your notifications I too have an Iphone you can find them where it says " More" at the bottom of your app

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
