My Pre Op Vitamins and Minerals? Converting to Post op...
A. Dixon posted a topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
Hi all, I am still planning to have surgery, maybe in a few months (cash pay, trying to save my pennies!). I have looked under the "file" for vitamin suggestions, etc. but don't see anything that answers my questions. I hope that I am not violating any rules here, but... My question has to do with the vits and supps that I am already taking. I usually order 90 days worth at a time. I am running out of some things, but I don't want to waste money and reorder something that I can't use after the surgery. Could you please review what I am taking now, and comment on what you think...and what I will not be able to/need take after DS surgery? I am having my surgery in Mexico, and my PCP knows nothing about DS surgery, so I will be very reliant on you veterans to help me get what I need to stay healthy! Thank you!
