What did your Dr prescribe/recommend?

I was told Multi-Vitamin, Calcium with Vit D and a sublingual B12. I added a probiotic to aid digestion and Biotin to cover the myth of hair loss prevention. For me, the only thing Biotin did is when my hair did grow back, it was thicker than it ever had been ... and all over my body, too! Never been hairier in my life. I did lost about 40% of my hair in months 6 through 9, but like I said, it all came back ... and then some.

Early out, I had issues and took Milk of Magnesia for about 2 weeks or so. About a month or so out, I started with prunes daily. Did that for about a year and I occasionally have them as I think they are yummy. Once you get your nutrition balanced, you shouldn't need anything to keep things moving.

I was given a patch during surgery for nausea, and had it for a few days, so never had an issue there.

Ulcer prevention ... I had terrible reflux pre-surgery but have had no issues post. Cross that bridge when you come to it if your stomach is feeling especially acidic.
