So before my revision surgery on 8/18 my vitamin D level was 39. Dr K gave me an injection of D the day before surgery. This week I had labs drawn and the D level is now 62.
I emailed Dr K last night and told him my results, and I asked him if he thought the improvement was from improved absorption or from the injection. He said he believes strongly it was the injection because people who don't get good results with Oral D have great results with the injection.
That made me think about a thread I saw here a while ago about the Vitamin D patches that are out there some places now. I asked Dr K about the patch and his response was that he would stay away from the patches as the results are very unpredictable.
His comments were interesting and I thought I would share what one of the top Bariatric surgeons in the world thought about this topic.
