I spoke to my surgeon's bariatric nurse today re my D and she said it was totally fine at 23.4 as the lab's range is 10-42 ug/L, although my lab result form does say that IDEAL is 20-50 ug/L.

Am I really not that low after all??  TIA. kiss

Yay! Lucky!  Mine's 4 (paperwork says anything less than 10 is deficient, 30-100 sufficient).

I'm just trying to prevent any problems as my calcium is low and my PTH is high.

If it were me, I'd up my D, a lot. Medical professionals just look for the numbers to be within range and think we are fine. I really don't think they take into account how vulnerable we are to those numbers slipping fast. Vitalady would like us to be above 80. Mine is finally around 69 and I feel so much better around this level.

Not sure how your 20-50 ug/L correlates with our 30-100 ng/ml. But DS'er's need to be as close to 100 as possible on the US scale. So however that compares to what your lab range is...stay at the top end.

IF your lab form says 20-50 and you are at 23.4, I would keep going...trying to get it as close to 50 as you can.

Thanks for the reassurance. I'll phone my doc on Monday to chase the injection she said I could have a couple of weeks back. It's mad that she said I could have it but then didn't arrange for me to have it

Go for 50 and if that can't make the connection to your high PTH shame on them!
