Has Anyones Process Been Delyaed Due To Vitamin Diffciency?



Recommended Posts

Right before submitting all my papaer work to my insurance they decided to do some blood work and my B12, b1, and b6 came back low.

I know how important it is for my Vitamins to be intact being that we lose some during and after surgery.

Has anyone gone through this? How long did it take for your Vitamin intake to get back to normal? Thanks! :)

Good question ::bump:: I'm in the same situation. My paperwork was just submitted' date=' and I got a phone call saying that my Vitamin D was low. The doctor prescribed me a Vitamin D to take, but I'm worried it will delay the process.[/quote']

Most Americans have more D3 and many women are low on the B's. It shouldn't delay things but you may want to check with your surgeon just in case. Good luck! (By the way, I was low too. Post op and after taking supplements, all my levels are good.)

I had the same problem. My dr. just had me start pre-op D Vitamins and I go once a week for B12 shots. It did not delay my surgery at all. Im getting sleeved 12/12/12.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
