Yes, it's very common. What does the doc advise?

I had low Vitamin D before surgery. Vitamin D deficiencies are actually very common. My surgeon put me on prescription vitamin D, and that brought it up really fast. I've taken OTC vitamin D since surgery - my levels are fine now.

I was schedule to have surgery in April but got sick and my team rescheduled me, at that time my Iron levels were normal only viramin D levels were low. I recently did labs again & the only reason I found out my iron is low is because i e-mail my Nut about the prohealth bariatric Multivitamins thats when she inform me that my iron is low.

I had low Vitamin D lonnngg before surgery. Took supplements on and off. The surgeon gave me those 50,000 IU prescription Vitamin D pills to take pre-op. Now I take 4,000 IU vitamin d pills daily, post-op.
