I'm glad I ran across this thread. My doctor (well, actually the girl who does the exercise counseling), recommended the Viactiv chews as well. I haven't had surgery yet, so I suppose it doesn't really matter yet. But, I have an appointment with the NUT next month, and I'm going to quiz her about it.
Osteoporosis (bone loss) runs in my family, so this could definitely be crucial to me. Are there any drawbacks to taking BOTH types of calcium at the same time just to cover your bases?
