Vitamin D - labs and med adjustment???
My Vit D level was 71...the normal range is 20-80. I currently take a dry D3 sublingual 10,000 units. The Dr. doesn't think I need to be taking that much. But I took it every day for MONTHS before they drew my labs. I know it's fat soluble. Anyway...whats your opinion?....keep the same dose? or lower it? TIA...bb

My opinion is that of the Linus Pauling Institute - 20 is NOT normal at all. We need our D 80 or above. I would stick with what you've been taking.

Water soluble D is not fat soluble any more. It cannot store in your liver in the same way.
Please keep it going the same. That's an old range. Most common today is 32-100, with some as high as 150
If it took you that log to ramp it up, don't let it slide down again!

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.
