Losing teeth years after Bypass Surgery
Have you been taking calcium citrate since your surgery? How much? What's your vitamin D level?

Hello! Just now saw your reply.... a little late! Sorry! My last labs taken this past August showed that my Vit D is a "7", and my Ferratin is a "6". I have no energy, and only 10 teeth left. Depression and anxiety are bad, and I only leave the apartment for doctor appointments. I have only been out 6 times since Nov of 2013..... I just started taking Calcium Citrate with VitD3 a few weeks ago. I was told to take TUMS and Flinstone Chewables 12 years ago yesterday, my surgery anniversary date....
This can occur with severe malnutrition. Start first with a full nutritional blood panel. You should be filling at least a dozen vials for this, so make sure they're not skipping anything. That will give you what you're missing and get you started on a plan to get yourself healthy again.
