Recently someone posted about Vitamins and how hard they are to get down, I didn't want to hijack someone's thread so I wanted to make a new thread. I am able to get the vitamins down ok but need some recommendations for a good Multivitamin and where you get them.

I really would prefer chewable, melts, or gummies but if there are smaller vitamins,that would be great. I can't do the huge one right now... hurts my belly!

Thanks in advance.

I would love to take the gummy's as everything else makes me sick. But my doc said no to those because they don't provide enough nutrients for a bariatric patient. Did your doc ok them?

I use the adult Gummy ones from costco. I was using bariatric choice chewables but they make me sick. My gummy ones are delicious :)

I also take the costco adult gummies. The NUT said the same thing at our appts however they work great for me. My lab work has been great at the 3 and 6 month appts, the only thing off was Vit D and that has to do with where I live.

And I should admit that I rarely remember to take them but it seems the food I am eating has done plenty.

I take Celebrate Vitamins. You can get free samples sent to you by registering at their website. I order them online. I've recently switched to capsules for the multivitamin, but I really like the chewable Iron (orange), so I'm not switching that.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
