My Dr. says Cut Back on the Vitamins

[Guest guest]

Well, I'm a yr. out now and just had my labs done per schedule.

When the results came back, my Dr. immediately called me and told me

to " Stop " . She said that my vitamin/mineral levels were all " out

the roof " . For example, my b-12 level was 1338 pg/mL, the norm is

211-911. She advised taking only one multi-vitamin per day with no

other supplements. I had been taling 3 multi-vitamins per day as

per CLOS recommendation. She also said that I appearantly have

absolutely no problem with malabsorption. Good grief, has my body

just adjusted to having a very small stomach and a 6 ft. bypass?

Has anyone else experienced this?

Also, I stopped losing weight after 6 mo. which is also the same

time that I started taking Bio-identical hormones. I haven't lost a

pound in the last 6 mo. If anyone else is taking these hormones, I

surely would like to know if you've stopped losing. I have an

appointment next week with a Bariatric specialist who is currently

treating several post gastric by-pass patients who have begun to

gain the weight back. I'm just trying every avenue I can to find

out what's happening in this body of mine. As I've always

said, " you haven't failed until you quit trying " .
