Anyone adding vitamins?



Recommended Posts

I find that I take more medications by choice than are required by my surgeon now. He requires B12, Calcium, a Multivitamin and Iron. I also take Biotin for hair, Vitamin e in hopes that it'll help my skin, an acid reducer because I've had ulcers in the past but no one told me to take them, and then my general birth control and allergy pills etc. I just added the vitamin e to my regiment but I feel like I keep adding pills to my inventory to take daily. Is anyone slowly but surely doing this too? I feel like I'll end up buying out the vitamin shop eventually.

I take all the same vitimans you take as well. But I alwasy took a ton of vitimans anyway so this is nothing new to me. I have to focus on my Calcium .... very important after 50......

      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?
