[maddsnerdspunk 26]

Soo Im trying to get things in line for my bypass surgery and I cant seem to find a b-12 Vitamin and was curious to know if the b-12 vitamelts woulc work.

GNC has b-12 that sublingual (goes under your tongue)

Walmart has the B12 sublingual ( your tongue) tablets cherry flavor 2500 mcg by Spring Valley as well liquid form. HEB Grocery has the sublingual liquid B12 5000mcg natural berry flavor ( really good) by Natures Bounty. Hope that helps.

Oops! I meant sublingual meaning under your tongue. Sorry ????

[maddsnerdspunk 26]

Thanks ladies! So does this mean the vitamelts wont work?

[maddsnerdspunk 26]

Thank you. Does this mean the vitamelts wont work then I already purchased them

[Janifer 42]

I am not sure if vitamelts would be enough B-12, but then again I don't know how much they (Doctor or Nutritionist) said you would need. My WLS center said 5000mcg a week. Either we could do 2500mcg twice a week or 5000mcg once a week.

Okay I will get these others. Thank you!!

I second the Spring Valley ones. they are very pleasant tasting and cheaper than the vitamelts.

Ok ladies got them! Now I wait tomorrow is my upper endoscopy. Its the ladt thing I need to do before my surgery date! all is prepared now though got the cal chews Flinstones vits with Iron B12 sublingual.. Is there anything I missed?

[LilBoo007 491]

In the future you may need to change the calcium chews. Most chews are made with Calcium bicarbonate which is less absorbable. After RNY they recommend taking a calcium citrate because its absorbed better by the body. Also my Dr. makes me take an extra Iron supplant of 29g they come in chewable form as well

I would highly recommend getting Bariatric grade Vitamins made specifically for post op patients. They are very different from one you can pick up at the store. We DO NOT and will never absorb all the actual Vitamin levels in anything other then Bariatric specific ones. Especially Calcium and Vit D. The calcium has to be calcium citrate with Vit D in it. The Bariatric vitamins come in chewables, liquids, chews and sublingual. Lots of flavors and choices. Check out bariatricadvantage.com and please research the info I just gave you.

[maddsnerdspunk 26]

I definately will. The ones I named are ones that the dietician at my surgeons office suggested bu I will definiately look into Vitamins made especially for bariactric patients makes perfect sense! Thank u! and also thanks for he provided info!
