Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 The National Osteoporosis Foundation sent me a packet when I requested info on their website. It includes recommendations for Ca and vit D following Bariatric Surgery. Also, someone posted Vit D Tx guidelines in the files. You might also refer to: Bernet, et al. (2007).

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Hi Marta, I have this article from Support Line and disagree with the supplementation recommendations for Vitamin D. 400 IU is no where near enough for supplementation for a bariatric surgery patient. The article from NEJM by Hollick, MD (sp?) is much more accurate. We have the 50,000 IU Vit D2 capsules and a D2 liquid at the hospital. We also have cacitriol which is Vit D3.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 We don't believe that RNY patients can convert D2 to D3 effectively. We prescribe only dry Vit. D3, 50,000 IU weekly to raise levels when deficient, then 800-1,000 IU daily--testing to see what keeps levels WNL. Be sure lab is testing 25(OH)D, not 1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I had heard this before, but not sure why. I just realized that we have been treating with Rx Vit D2, 50,000 IU once/wk x 12 wks. Should we be treating with Vitamin D3 with the same dosage instead? What is the correct way to write this on a Rx form? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hello all, I recently looked into this topic and found that vit D is thought to be held by body fat stores. The higher amount of body fat, the more Vit D held and not converted. This is likely the reason why many pre- op pts are vit D deficient. I'm unsure if the mechanism for this is fully unerstood, but this is what I got out of my research. I hope this helps, ~ > > > > > > Hi Marta, > > > I have this article from Support Line and disagree with the > > > supplementation recommendations for Vitamin D. 400 IU is no > where > > near enough for > > > supplementation for a bariatric surgery patient.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hi , At our facility we only have the Vit D 50,000 Units in D2. The only Vit D 3 we have is calcitriol that is used for renal patients. a Serafino-Cross, MS, RD, LDN Baystate Health Springfield, MAGet trade secrets for amazing burgers.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Hi Bee and all, I've been on Bee's diet for about 4 months... and even with occasional cheats I have seen a significant improvement in my health--less muscle aches, better digestion and mood. I have a question about a new Vitamin D product featured on Dr. Mercola's site: http://products.mercola.com/vitamin-d-spray/?source=nl I'm curious if it meets Bee's criteria for appropriate vitamin D supplementation. In other words, would it be an effective substitute for cod liver oil/fish oil? Thanks in advance for your response, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
