Hello....I need some advise...I am 4 weeks post op today....have lost alittle over 30 pounds since is started (2 weeks of diet before surgery) anyway....I am struggling with Vitamins and meds....I bought the VitaFusion gummies for my Multi-Vitamin and Calcium....everytime I take them I get the worst headache of my life and I feel like I can not swallow....I chew them to death....I mean nothing left of them before I swallow...I get all this pressure in my throat and jaws start hurting really bad ( sorta like when you have sinus trouble) and my head hurts....I am just wondering if anybody else has had this problem or anything like it? What types of vitamins do you all use? This may not seem like a big deal but I feel terrible! I can not hardly stand to be sitting upright my head hurts so bad! Pleas help!

Could be something in the gummies that is giving you headaches like food coloring and the hurting in your throat could be the vit swelling after you swallow or right before. Either way asap to lapband doc this isn't normal. Goodluck. I'm a newbie myself and get alot of headaches but since on liquids nary a one. Getting allergy testing. I tested a few years ago for environmental she pricked me 10x and I was allergic to all10. This time testing food allergies. I have alot of sinus problems and if it feels like you can't swallow your throat maybe trying to close. I wouldn't take those vit. I take flintstones chewable until I get my new order of really good ones... chewable tabs. I hope you figure this out . If it's not the band then I would get allergy tested.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
