Recommended Posts

These bariatric Iron chewables from the Vitamin Shoppe are so horrible...towards the ends it tasted as if I had just chewed a tylenol or something ...gosh...I haven't puked at all since surgery but that right there almost put me over the edge..

I take the Celebrate Multi-Complete Vitamin. They're a Multivitamin specifically formulated for the sleeve patient, and they have the Iron already in them. I have both the orange and the forest berry, and they're delicious! I believe you can order samples from the Celebrate website, and I order my Vitamins from Amazon.< /p>

If I recall correctly, CelebrateVitamins.com has a multi with Iron (which didn't have as much Iron in it as my surgeon recommends) and one without. I chose the one without, and a separate chewable iron tablet. I actually like the grape flavor of their iron tablet.

I order mine directly from Celebrate.< /p>

The Celebrate Multi-complete has 36mg iron in the two-a-day tablets, so a full day's supply. Do you like the taste of your Vitamins, JeanZ? I was so worried they'd be gross, but after trying a sample at my surgeon's office, I was hooked! Now they're like a treat!

Wellesse liquid Iron tastes good and liquid iron is more easily absorbed than other forms. I took a double dose (with permission from my dietician) - one T. in the morning, one at night - for the first four weeks after surgery, then switched to normal iron pills I can buy at the supermarket.

      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.
