are you taking vitamins NOW?



Recommended Posts

What Vitamins are in your daily routine? It was suggested at my seminar (both actually, I went to 2 different doctors at 2 different hospitals) that I start multi Vitamin, Calcium and/or D3. I already had the multi Vitamin, I brought a Calcium with D3 in it only to discover it was the wrong calcium. I just got in from the store they had a bogo (buy 1 get 1) so I got the D3 and also some Biotin (need my hair to grow!) So once I get clarification on which calcium I should be taking (I thought calcium was calcium) I'll go out and get that too.

I thought the reason for our bands was to take us off of our pills? I seem to have picked up 2 more...lol...j/k, I know these are diffrent...

I was told chewable vitamins, and viactiv for the Calcium (I got milk chocolate...its ok, but very sweet). Dont take the vit with the calcium as the Vitamin prevents the absorbtion of the calcium. I wasn't told about the others you are taking. :)

I take: multi with Iron (I use one-a-day sours), D3 5,000 IU, calcium citrate with D, Biotin, B1, B12, coq10, Iron, Cinnamon, Ranitidine (like Zantac), birth control, and Ceterizine Hydrochloride (allergy).

All of those are required except Cinnamon, birth control, and Ceterizine Hydrochloride.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
