| Erika, hopefully others will chime in, but for me the obvious dangers of staying obese with Type 2 far outweigh (hah!) anything that I may have overlooked in terms of other hidden long-term risks. I was already taking multivitamin supplements before the low-carb and surgery so that hasn't changed. I see my Doctors, and have blood and urine tests every 3 months. While there are many unknowns in my future, I am open minded and adaptable. I believe in arming myself with knowledge and making my own health decisions.
