I have Vampires on my brain! I am reading the Twilight Vampire Books by Stephanie Meyer. I am on the final LARGE book--- Breaking Dawn.
Anyway, The Bariatric Institute called to tell me that I am vitamin deficient!
Here are the results…
Vitamin B12- was told normal range is 300-900.
Mine is 242.
Instructed to add 1000mcg per day
Vitamin D- was told normal range is 32-100.
Mine is 7.8
Instructed to add 1000 international units per day.
Iron- Ferrous Gluconate- was told normal is over 62.
Mine is 8
Instructed to take 27mg three times a day.
Do not take with calcium products including Theragran M. No dairy ½ hour before or after taking.
Vitamin C w/iron- add 500mg a day
H. Pylori test. (Helicobacter Pylori)
This is a specific bacteria that causes an infection in the stomach. Most people do not even know if they have it. They test for it before stomach surgery.
My test came back abnormal, of course why not.
It is amazing that I am alive!!
I am now on a new diet. The pill diet! I am taking so many pills there is NO ROOM for food!
This blood work up is a good thing. Part of my plan to have a healthy life!
