I understand about us needing bariatric vitamins. I was asking the question if one gets so low in their vitamin levels because of the malabsorption or a complication that could occur will they supply it for that need. I didnt mean to suggest the nutritional iv as a replacement to baratric vitamins I meant in a one day substitute of some sort to build vitamins back up Sent from my LG-H811 using BariatricPal mobile app

Nurse told me today. They will give me heparin in the hospital & Lovenox injections I will have to give myself at home for 3 days Sent from my LG-H811 using BariatricPal mobile app

I read about the bloodclot&gallstone preventative med or injections. Please give me the details. Does everyone have to do the injections post op? What are the names of the prescriptions your doctor prescribed for you? I want to make sure I get all the information about this to protect my health and prevent problems

My surgery (gastric bypass)is July 17. Time flies& so the countdown begins....For 7 months I have been researching & educating myself outside of the nutrition class on gastric bypass. I have been on many sites&seen many you tube videos & this forum and a couple others and really got a wide range of what to expect & my responsibilities. You learn a lot by the good hearts of others who have posted the details of what they have endured, conquered,struggled with& pros & cons. This forum is a blessing. It is so helpful. Its always a good thing to get as much education in such an important decision as this. So,all the July surgeries good luck to you all.. July is around the corner

I just got my pre op diet that I will have to start July 3. We cant have any milk so our protein powder is to be mixed with water only. 1 month post op we can have milk so then will be when I can have my premier protein. Darn! Anyone else was instructed to not have milk pre op and only after 1 month post op can have milk&mix protein powder with milk?

I can understand your feelings. I am scheduled for surgery July 17 and I am anxious & happy. But my happiness is outweighing me being anxious. Kind of weird to have them at the same time. I had two surgeries on my feet in the past and risks were discussed & I understood them. Unfortunately, surgery wasnt successful so I will have to have another surgery next year. I have chronic pain too. I can accept that because I understood the risk & possible outcome. So, with the gastric bypass surgery I have a good understanding of the risks and to always check in with my doctor if I encounter any problems and or if something is not right. My surgeon Dr Joyce is such a great surgeon. I trust him. It really helps when you and your surgeon can bond. You trust him and he trusts you to call him when there is a problem. This is a big decision and it will get us on a healthier pathway. Choosing to be healthy is always a good thing. The thoughts I have about being healthy outweighs the risks or complications that may happen. God is good God give us strength

Well Good luck to you. Next week is your day! So they give you prescriptions before the surgery. Thats a good thing. My surgery is on July 17. My last surgical visit is July 7. Do the injections look hard to use? Will they show you how to use them?

Also try the Premier Protein! It tastes sooo good!
