I'm currently awaiting to meet my surgeon to schedule my surgery. I've been taking B12 and b6 because its low.

Every Doctor is different so i was wondering what kind of Vitamins are you guys taking?

I want to start taking them because i don't want my Vitamin intake to be low when its time for surgery.

Thanks guys!

After my bloods were done I was told I only had to take a multi. Will see how it goes next time. I'm 8 weeks out.

What's your Vitamin schedule like? I'm not sleeved yet, but trying to get in to habit of taking Vitamins thoughout the day. I'm taking a prenatal multi (it has all the same as the multi +biotin), D3 (2x a day), B12 (sublingual, 1000mcg per week for now -- maybe more after surgery?)

Currently...

Morning -- prenatal, D3, B12

Noon --

Night -- D3

After surgery...

Morning -- prenatal, D3, B12, calcium citrate

Noon -- Iron

Night -- D3

Does this seem right? My nut gave me a sheet with instructions for Vitamins on my last visit with her. I read them when I got home, so it was too late to ask for guidance/clarification. I won't see her again until after surgery I think...

A friend said she had a hard time taking the Calcium with all the other morning pills, but I'd prefer to just get them done if it works for me. I was thinking maybe calcium at noon, then Iron with the D3 at night, but if D3 helps with the calcium absorption, should I not put them together? Ugh I have no idea what I'm doing!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
