Bone density test?

Rate this Entry
Had a check up with my PCP on 4/21 and he suggested I go for a bone density test. Anybody else have this? I guess he wants to see if my skeleton has lost weight. The nurses at his office were slack jawed when they saw me. Very complimentary. Weighed in at 230.

    I had one when I turned 50 but that was way before I lost weight.

    I am sure that they want to make sure that you are not losing bone density. Had one done recently and there is some loss (not much) I take caltrate with D chewys yum.

    I had one done a few months ago.
    I am a year and half post op. It is good to have it done just in case you need an additional supplement to prevent bone loss. I think it is pretty common when you are losing weight at a steady rate.
    Great job on your weight loss!

    I think they start them at 50, and then you have them every few years depending on your results. I just keep taking my calcium + D and hope for the best!

    Thanks all I hope I do as well on the bone density test as I did on my hepatitis test. On that I got an A, two B's and a C.
