Beckyyb93 225 Posted December 9, 2012 My doctor didn't give me much info about what Vitamins to take, when to start taking them, etc. All he told me was B12. What do you guys take or what did your doctor tell you to take? Does it have to be a certain form? Any advice would be great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juny 93 Posted December 9, 2012 I was told by my nut: a chewable Multivitamin, B12 1000mcg sublingual, B complex w/ thiamine. 2000iu Vitamin D. Specifically for women, 1200-1500mg daily of a chewable Calcium citrate. And Biotin for hair loss. The B complex is nasty I'm told. I know there's lots of others who have different instructions, but this is this list straight from the binder they gave hand out to everyone that comes through their office.

The bariatric one is berry flavored and easy to chew. I have tried a few and this one is the best! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donny 270 Posted December 9, 2012 PPI is just an acid reducer like prilosec but i got a prescription version, it calms the stomach rumbles. I was never told to take Iron and it didn't show up bad on my labs? And I don't take Biotin, there's no help for the wicked case of male pattern baldness i have been rocking the last few years!

IweightNoMore 92 Posted December 9, 2012 I have been taking these since day one of my preop diet. I also take two Synthroid tablets and a Prilosec tablet everyday. I have had no issues taking these pills even day of surgery I took them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
