Here's the list of what I take:

Multivitamin w/ iron- flintstones complete 2 a day

Calcium- chewables from Walmart 1000 mg

B12 sublingual 2500 mcg once a day

Vitamin D- 5000 mcg a day

Biotin- 1000 mcg a day

The b12 and Biotin are just the generic brand from Walmart. The Vitamin D is prescribed to me by my surgeon and the Calcium is Mickey mouse chewables also from Walmart!

Here's my list

Fish oil lemon flavor (yum) trying to fix my low good cholesterol

Citracal petites 2 Breakfast 2 lunch

Vitamin D 1000 IU (I work with breastfeeding moms and here in Illinois almost all women are deficient)

Gummy multivites 2

Gummy B complex (new). I had trouble with the yellow pills. Couldn't stomach the taste

And Bariatric chewable Iron 60 mg (I was deficient and am now weaning down. Also the gummies don't have Iron which I somehow missed)

And my allergy meds

Please remember I am banded awaiting revision. I expect these will change slightly since I tolerate most pills for now.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
