What Type Of Supplements Did You Take Post-Op?



Recommended Posts

I had a doctor's office tell me today that they have a specific supplement package that is rather expensive that you take afterwards. I thought this odd as no one has mentioned anything like this on this board. I only see a list of either prescriptions or OTC items people buy and take....

Any thoughts?

Oh wow! This Dr. office made it seem like they had a supplement package that was crazy expensive so I need to pay $5,600 package fee for tests, supplements, etc. :P Looks like I need to research more doctors and charges. Thanks for the reply!

I also got the Bariatric Fusion chewables (multivit and an Iron + vit C tab) for my post-op. I had the option to get it from my doc's office but I found it online cheaper for a three month supply. My doc said after that I can go back to my regular multivit. Maybe the high price you were quoted was for the "tests"??? Is that a self-pay cost or an insurance co-pay?

onemanwolfpack--- love the name and picture lol gave me a laugh! I said I had insurance, but it seemed like it was more of a cost for self-payers or those that ins. didn't cover tests, etc. Mine does, so it will be one of my many questions for my Tues. consult. This doctor was listed as one of the best sleeve surgeons for San Francisco and the US so I am really wanting to go with him.

Oh Crap!! That's alot of money!! Better look for a new doc! I am still post-op but just bought my Vitamins. I bought a Bariatric Advantage chewable multi Vitamin, B12 and calcium citrate. I spend 100 bucks for three months. I will probably try some others next time. I really don't care for the chewable multi. It is really gritty, I think a Gummy would be much better. I did get the caramel Calcium and it is yummy!!
