Has anyone had to take a prescription for vitamin D - pre-op?

I was very low in Vitamin D pre-op and had to take 4 - 1000 vitamin D.

I was low in Vitamin D and I was told to take 1500 mg of D with my calcium supplement. I was also a bit low on iron too and a multi vitamin is all I take for that. I haven't had any blood work since then so I don't know what my levels are.

Being low on vit D is very common in northern climates like Canada. It is something many of us do not have checked.
