Anyone have Low Vit D and/ or B12 prior to surgery? Did this affect insurance approval?

I have been taking Prescription D for a year and numbers came up but not enough to clear the deficiency and recent blood-work added B12 deficiency. My current PCP is suggesting to just take otc supplements (which I have been doing) previous PCP gave RX Vitamin.

Just wondering mainly if it will affect approval process. Also any supplement recommendations would be great.

Thanks in Advance

I had a severe Vitamin D deficiency when I began my six month pre-op diet program. My surgeon's NP put me on a prescription Vitamin D supplement, and I took it twice a week for the entire six months. It didn't affect insurance at all.

You will still be able to get approved and have surgery

I have been taking vit D for two years now and my levels have finally gone up-yay! At the lowest, my level was 8. I was approved before my levels went back up, and on all of the paperwork my dr has me diagnosed as having a Vitamin D deficiency.

I was taking Vitamin D2 1.25 mg (50,000 unit) capsules once a week, prescribed by my doctor.

Mine was 6. I was horrified.
