I started Vitamins on day 10 post-op, and began Calcium and B-12 day 14. I'm not taking Iron as I am post-menopausal and will wait to see what the 3 month labs say.

Well I take GNC solotron chewable Mulitviamins they have 100% Iron, B-6 and B-12. I will be getting chewable calicum 2 weeks out of surgery. Tiffkins has been taking these Vitamins and she has had really good blood work when she had to get her levels checked.. good luck

I was told to only take a chewable multivitamin complete for the first month. After the one month I would be started on Calcium, b-12, and Iron. Is this the norm for anyone else? It seems as if other post op patients start on all their Vitamins right after surgery. I'm confused!

Same here

I too only took Multivitamins until week 4, and B12. I started Calcium at week 4 & Iron at week 6.

I started multi, B12, Iron a couple weeks before surgery...as soon as I has surgery I started Pepcid Complete (actually Pepcid AC because Complete has been recalled) and then two weeks later I switched from Pepcid to Calcium.< /p>

My nutritionist told me to start 2 weeks post-op - Resource optisource chewable Vitamins 4 a day (spread out)

From 1 week to 3 months post-op - 1200-15-- mg of chewable or liquid calcium citrate

**If I choose to take my own chewable or liquid multivitamins, I should be getting 200% of daily min. of Zinc, Magnesium & Vitamin B.
