Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Hi Kim...I had a type of bariatric (weight loss) surgery wherein I lost some of my ability to absorb vitamins, minerals and nutrients...mostly fat soluable things. Since Vit D is fat soluable, I do not retain enough without supplementation and/or exposure to the sun, whereby my body can produce Vit D. It was a pretty drastic surgery but I was terribly morbidly obese and needed help desperately. Lots of trade-offs in life, but I don't regret my surgery. I'm sorry you have the " tummy troubles " too. I hope they find a medication that will really help, and either insurance will cover it or your physician can supply you with samples. Also, folks talk about programs here that will help either pay for or supply meds if you cannot get them. If you need info, I'm sure someone with info will respond if you inquire. Hugs...
