vit.D/osteoporosis/bone scan

[Guest guest]

I posted yesterday re: vit.D, the type of Calcium supp. my WLS recommends

is:

TWINLAB Calcium Citrate caps Plus Magnesium.

My concern was this does not contain Vit.D, Ive been reading citrate is the

best calcium, does it not require vit.D for absorption? what I really like

is Viactiv and I do try to eat 1-2 a day usually because it cures any sweet

craving I may have, plus it has calcium but my doc wants me to use the

citrate, does anyone take a calcium citrate supp that contains vit.D????

Also my WLS sent out letters stating people who have had WLS should get a

Bone Density Scan periodically, a baseline one then one every year or two

depending on the results, so I will be asking my PCP for a referral for the

scan.

My hips, knees, and legs ache alot, much more than before I lost #160 Im

worried about Osteoporosis, any comments or info greatly

appreciated.....Annie
