Mine are the same as what Kulita listed although B1 was only for 6 weeks and I have to take extra B12 based on my labs. I was able to skip the Iron too.

Multivitamin with Iron

calcium citrate (not carbonate) with Vitamin D

Vitamin B-12 sublingual

And maybe separate Iron depending on blood work ...

I take multivitamin with Iron, 1000 mcg Vitamin B12 and 1200 mg Calcium malate chelate. The dosage might differ for you so consult your doctor.

I take Vita4Life Multi-Standard, Calcium and Iron (both are chelated so they absorb extremely well), and their sublingual B12. I haven't needed to take anything other than that so far. People say you need to take chewables, but I haven't had ANY issues with these. People are just overly cautious and wind up freaking out thinking a capsule is impossible to swallow. They swallow pieces of food larger than these capsules. Anyway, check it out if you like.

      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.
