My doctor approves flinstone Complete chewables with an additional chewable Calcium. They cost about $15 for 150 tablets, a 75 day supply. I compared the ingredients with some bariatric Vitamins I initially bought and they're about the same. The bariatric vitamins cost me over $30 for a one month supply.

all my md was make sure chewable, target or Walmart should carry some. I heard someone say costco has some good chocolate chewable ones.

I use the Centrum chewable ones, orange, not the yummiest, but with a drink of h2o after, tolerable. I think I'm going to switch to the flinstone ones, though, LOL. I also take sublingual B12 (2-4 tabs a day), and Calcium and Vitamin D, oh and Biotin.< /p>

Costo has a liquid high potency daily Vitamin. It's very affordable, and liquid so there's no issue with getting it down. Plus it has lots of Fiber. I actually like the taste. it comes in a two pack for less than $20. Lasts several months.

My doctor recommended flinstone Multi chewable with Choline; I buy the costco brand which is much cheaper (exact same thing). Vitafusion has both fiber and Vitamin D chewables; fiber I get at Costco and D at Walmart or drugstore.com. Caltrate (calcium + D) large bottle at Walmart (I have low D levels so I take a lot)

I been buying Flintstones COMPLETE with CHOLINE for almost 6 years now. I have tried the off brands, and they just don't have the pick me up that the Flintstones do. I know this from feeling tired, and bruising.

You can go to the Flintstones Web Site, and print off a coupon, then look for some sales, and save money.

Just remember: It must be there COMPLETE/CHOLINE or it won't really work well.

I do 3 a day, and I feel great.

Get back if you need to.

Shirley.

      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.
