Bariatric Advantage vs. Optisource



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if any of you have used theses Vitamins. Thoughts' date=' comments, suggestions? hair loss prevention is a must for me. Thanks![/quote']

I could not stand the BA Vitamins. Made me hurl every morning post op. Switched to Celebrate capsule. These are OK if you spread them out all day, one at each meal. Otherwise same hurling story. I think it was the Iron in them. Finally I switched to a chewable tab from trader joes. I can eat them with zero issues and 6 month labs were really good for Vitamin levels.

I second that BA Vitamins are vile and should be avoided. They may be good Vitamins, but they taste like... well if you try one, you'll see >.<

I eventually ended up doing what a lot of people do, which is going to gummy vitamins and supplementing my minerals. My last round of blood work was good on everything, so it seems to be okay.

I bought the optisource on Amazon because they got really good reviews but they are really gross. They are about the size of a nickel and a quarter inch thick. They are all orange flavored and the worst part is you have to take 4/ day. I switched back to flintstones. I don't have time to remember to take Vitamins 4 times a day.

      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.
