Hey Everyone-

What kind of chewable Calcium are you going to take?

What kind of chewable Multivitamin are you going to take?

What kind of Vitamin D are you going to take if you need to take it?

Thanks' date=' just shopping around, need to finalize these before Monday's surgery!!![/quote']

I am pre-op but here's what i bought :

Centrum chewable - I have gummies too for multi, Calcium and omegas in case I don't like centrum after surgery. I would have to take 6 per day (2 of each) and they have a bit of sugar so I am going to try the centrum first.

Tums with calcium

B12 sublingual (spring valley)

Co-q10 (spring valley)

Biotin (spring valley)

I have some Vitamin d by spring valley too. I am always deficient but never take it.

Well Hello August Sleevers... I'm scheduled to be sleeved on Aug. 9th.

I am 5'4" as well... and I'm at 203 lbs. In Feb 2010, I had the lap band and from an all time high of 234 to 183.

Had problems with the lap band (severe) in April and had all the Fluid removed with the decision to have the sleeve done. Since that time, I have had some thyroid problems resulting in having to have a biopsy done yesterday to determine if everything is good. I will get the results on Monday Aug. 6 and providing all is a go... VSG surgery will be on Thursday the 9th. (So please say a little prayer for me)..

In the meantime I have gained approx 20 lbs... I'm actually into my 1st week of the 2 Protein Shake a day and havn't lost anything. I'm sure the thyroid problem is not helping... I've been started on Synthroid... hopefully... I will see some good results after the sleeve.

Thrilled with this new group and hoping to stay informed and in touch with you all. The support is great.

My surgery is scheduled with Dr. Jawad in Orlando, Florida.

God Bless You... Connie

I am sleeved! I got to my room about 6 pm. I really hurt and have had some dry heaves (ouch!) I had a hiatal hernia the doc repaired also, so maybe that's why so much pain. Looking forward to relief from gerd though. I am so sleepy!

[iggychic 1,405]

I hope the heaves go heave ho soon she'll! sleep tight and let us know how you are tomorrow!

I am so glad to read you are doing so well. I have been gone most of the day with my Lil Mans Appointments. I tried to keep track of Facebook to see if someone commented on how you were.

I don't know about anyone else, But I am not liking this new VST setup at all. It never showed me once that you or anyone else responded to forum when I clicked notifications. I found out that you were responding from our facebook group.

I hope your continue to recovery nicely. Thanks for telling me about those wonderful drugs they got there. I guess its enough to catch up on missed sleep when your not walking. You take care, and hopefully saturday you will get to meet Icandothis before you leave.
