Lab Review Prep Questions

Be patient with me. I am reviewing my labs at the surgeons office Tuesday and I want to take advantage of the opportunity to ask the lab expert some questions, weigh the answers and maybe give him something to think about. I will be asking questions throughout the day as I think of them and some may be stupid or redundant, but would appreciate your answers. Here goes. . .

1. Why is Boron recommended and how much with each calcium dose.
2.

Looks like it's too early in the morning cuz I am stalled at the one question.  Maybe after my protein shake.

 It enhances the absorption of calcium. We tend to take different amounts depending on how much calcium we take. I take a 3mg pill of boron with each of my 4 calcium doses.

Did you have the new loop duodenal switch in 2007, I am curious because the vitamin requirements might be different.
