My potassium tanked when I had my WLS.  They even kept me an extra day because of it and pumped a bunch into me....

Are you saying you didn't get a script for low potassium and your labs have been trending down over time? Please talk to your regular PCP about this as soon as you can. Keep us posted.

That's correct.  I am going to check with my Nut tomorrow and see what she says.  I'd hate for it to keep going down.  Until then, I will take this low dose stuff and keep eating high potassium stuff, although I already to that.  He said potassium bounces around and it wasn't low enough to be significant. ??????

I wish you good luck with your NUT. Mine upped me from 600mg to 800mg of OTC potassium last visit just based on my labs. So, apparently 800mg of OTC didn't scare her 'cause she was reading my labs and saw a dip she didn't like.

Talked to the NUT today who just refered me back to my PCP.  She said eat high potassium food and try to get the level tested sooner than 1 month.  I think I will keep taking the OTC stuff for now and see when my PCP is going to be back in town.  I think if I do 6-8 of them a day, it isn't any more than a banana so it can't hurt me.
