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

Obviously, every insurance plan is different (sometimes wildly so), but I wouldn't think a vitamin deficiency would impact things, no. I have low vitamin D, and the nurse practitioner that works in my surgeon's office prescribed some RX vitamins a few months ago, but it hasn't been mentioned since then, and I was approved for surgery about 3 weeks ago. I think the vitamins are something they worry about more post-op.

I have low Vitamin D, Thyroid, and Chromium. The only thing that effected my surgery scheduling (not insurance) was my thyroid. Doctor wants to see it in the 4 range and mine was 10.5. But as soon as I was accepted by insurance, they emailed me a ton of information and attachments in preparation for the surgery and afterwards. One of them was about my vitamins. It said as soon as I received the email to go ahead and start taking them right away. I will say the B Complex-50 has been a Godsend. If you feel sluggish and have a slow metabolism, that is the vitamin among all vitamins.
