It's 18. Normal is 30-80. My rheumatologist checked it. I don't see my surgeon for several weeks. The rheumy told me to add 2000IU of D, but I added 4000...in addition to what I usually get, that's 5800IU a day. I hope that's enough.
On the good side, everything else was normal, including my iron which was up. And my diabetes is apparently gone. A1C was 5.5! Three months ago it was 5.9, so it's on a downward trend.

My journey to the new me after the duodenal switch procedure
About me
If somebody asked me what I wanted most in the world a year ago, it would be to be a normal size. This is about the journey I took to realize my dream.
I don't think I'm without self-discipline, uncontrolled, or lazy. I've been fat since childhood and becoming normal sized has always been the one thing I couldn't do.
I started having other health difficulties--needing an awful machine because of sleep apnea, diabetes, and high blood pressure and I decided to take the leap to do what could be done.
I had the duodenal switch surgery February 2009. Here's my story.

Let's talk about your labs, when you get some time, okay?
Your doc is not so up on what it takes to correct a malabsorber's D level, unfortunately.
If you email me, I'd be happy to give you a hand, okay?
