What type of Vitamins are your doctors making you take?

Anyone have to take a prenatal pill?

A big handful, that's for sure. Multivitamin, D, B12, b complex, c, Calcium, Omega 3 and 6. Took them faithfully for 6 months and blood work came out well. I am continuing to take the same cocktail daily.

Yup, we all do when taking PPI because Calcium carbonate will not absorb so well.

I take daily centerium chewable Multi vitimans and calcium chews. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I take B12 sub lingual, B1. The hardest for me is the Multi vitiman. For some reason the Multi vitiman makes me feel a bit of nausea.

You might try TJ High Potency adult chewable tablets. These are good tasting and had no trouble eating these when other multi caused nausea (tried Bariatric Advantage and Celebrate). If you eat 2 daily you get about 200% DV of everything. As said above labs were really good at 6 months.

Also I have found Bariatric Advantage chewable citrates to be really good. I order caramel flavor from Amazon every 10 days or so to fulfill 6 chews a day where each chew is 250 mg Calcium. Works really well to take 2 of these an hour before eating 3 of your daily meals.

Ditto what ^ fiddle said. They taste pretty good, also.

      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.
