*You can also check your local nutrition and supplement store. Here are the guidelines for choosing a Multivitamin after bariatric surgery:

Multivitamin Mineral Supplement

Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG)

Bariatric specific multivitamin in liquid/chewable form for the first three months. Three months after surgery, you may advance to a capsule or tablet form. If you choose not to take a bariatric surgery specific multivitamin and instead, take just a general, adult multivitamin, choose one that contains 100% of daily value for at least 2/3 of nutrients and take 200% (double the dose) of a general multivitamin.

For all surgeries:

• Keep in mind that if you take 200%, it should not exceed 10,000 IU Vitamin A or 1,000 mg (1,500 IU) of Vitamin E
  
• Choose a complete formula that contains folic acid, thiamin, zinc, selenium, 2 mg copper, and iron (or iron can be taken separately)
  
• If you choose to take a non-bariatric specific multivitamin, you will also need to take an additional B50 complex
  

In addition:

• Avoid time-released and enteric coating. Avoid children’s formulas as they are incomplete.
  
• May tolerate better if taken with food
  
• Not all brands are created equal
  
• There are no complete gummy vitamins, even gummies made for adults
  
• Do not mix a multivitamin containing iron with calcium supplements and take at least 2 hours apart.
