bratvp63 118 Posted April 22, 2012 No drain and no leak test. I think we have it the easiest compared to most posters on the forum. Are you in the Portland area? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted April 22, 2012 You absolutely need to have a leak test. As far as vitimins go, you should take a sublingual Vitamin B 12 and Calcium citrate not calicum carbonate, in addition to a good multi vitaimin. I get Calcium chocolate chews from Bariatric Advantage. I have them on auto ship. They are great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted April 22, 2012 Look on the ingredients and see if it's calcium citrate or Calcium carbonate. We don't absorb calcium carbonate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furby036 60 Posted April 22, 2012 Look on the ingredients and see if it's calcium citrate or Calcium carbonate. We don't absorb calcium carbonate. It says carbonate.
