That's a good question I'm having my surgery on the 18th and I would like to know also.

That's a question best answered by your nutritionist. I was told to go with chewable. Not sure if the liquid contains everything we need.

I started with the liquid type but quickly moved to the chewable. I use Celebrate. I really like them.

I love Flintstones. Sadly, however, they don't begin to meet the needs of post-bariatric surgery patients. I urge anyone using them post surgery to make sure they supplement with all that's missing.

Flintstones Complete is recommended by my team. All my labs have been perfect. There are differences in all programs. Everyone should take whatever their own doctor recommends and should be monitored to be sure they are getting all the nutrients they need for continued good health.

Yes Flinstones complete is what my dr told me because others made me feel so sick. It has everything in it that was in the list of nutrients needed. I take 2 a day. But definitely listen to what ever your dr recommends.

      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.
