5' 6" Height: |  Calcium Does anyone know how wi can we tell if we are getting enough calcium? I just had my blood work done and everything was great but they didn't do any test for calcium. I know that some of you are having trouble with you teeth and Doc said something about slow calcium loss possibility. |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | yeah Im surprised that they didnt test for it. All the times that Ive had mine tested they have tested for it. I had a low reading and they bummped things up. I would ask. and yeah Im the one who got a cavity after no cavities for 20 years. Im a bit worried about this. Im hoping this isnt a downside to this journey. Goign fo rthe drill on monday.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Not sure about the calcium either, but I am supposed to have a bone density test done. Also I do know we are not supposed to take our calcium at the same time we take B12 or other vitamins. Mattie

However, even if your blood level is high, your bone may be delpelted, so a bone density exam added to the blood labs is best, especially if you're past menopause, as women start to lose bone density with menopause, and that can compound the Ca dificiecy due to malabsorbtion.
