Vitamin D low

I forgot to mention this in the last post. My blood tests show that my vitamin D is low. Normal range is 20-100, i was on the low end at 22. The Dr says that i should stand out in the sun so that my skin can absorbe Vitamin D. I only need to be in the sun for 3-4 minutes. Nothing drastic like 30 mins. Just enough so that it pushes my vitamin D level back up to 70-80 points.

My cholestrol was not the best (222) and that of course comes with the territory of being obese. After surgery i should see that number fall to about 140-150.

I tested negitive for Diabetes, which is the one i was most worried about, until the DR mentioned blood clots in the lung. Even though i tested negitive for Diabetes, my blood sugar count was on the high side of the normal range. Normail range now is 80-120, i was at 111.

All my other Vitamins were in the healthy range and will continue to be even after surgery as long as i take my vitamins.
