Default Vit D Levels can and do Drop After Most Surgeries

So going into a surgery one would be smart to have good optimal Vit D levels. I was a low 16 in 2006 and got my D up to 80 and felt Great, and then at 72 I had a hip replacement and the D levels dropped over 40 pts...I had read this could happen, that it could drop and boy did it. I felt good after the surgery and had a good recovery BUT in some months I went downhill. Could have been the drop in D for all I know. And all the restructuring of the body, it's been a hard road on his hip job.

I've been working to get back up to 80 and can't seem to get past 50 on the bloodwork results.

Vitamin D status may influence risk of complications after non-cardiac surgery


Cardiac surgery is excluded from the surgery types where D drops.
