For anyone else, before you decide to increase the WLS recommended doses of vitamins or supplements, run it by your doc/surgeon/NUT first.

I am taking 1500 mg daily. The problem (as I see it) was that this included 3x of the RDA of vitamin D, and I am already getting 2x with my multivitamin. I am guessing that I had been dosing 5x the RDA of vitamin D every day for over a year. And this is not accounting for the vitamin D I get from sunlight (and I live in Florida). Anyway, I'm not sure if we have any malabsorptive issues for vitamin D, but as my blood work indicated that I was getting more than I needed, I've cut out the "Plus D" vitamins.
