Recommended Posts

My doctor said its safe for me to start taking chewable vitamins what are the best brands that you recommend me to get I think he said something about a Multivitamin and a B12 if you can let me know what works great for you guys. also want to start taking something for my hair just in case it starts to get thin. I also have Vitamin chewable C is that okay to take also with the other Vitamins?

My program recommends Bariatric Advantage:

I can't comment on the taste because I take the pills. They are cheaper and calorie free. But I know many people have problems swallowing pills and prefer the chewables.< /p>

I use Celebrate chewable vitamins. Made for bariatric patients.

My surgeon also prefers the Bariatric Advantage Line. I take the chewable Multi-Vitamin RNY formula in berry. Their dissolvable b-12. The calcium citrate chewy bites in chocolate. The chewable Iron in passion fruit. I also take a chewable Biotin with folate from costco. We were given samples of a couple different companies. But these turned out to be my favorite. These break down to about $42 per month. My doctor said he preferred that our multi Vitamin was for bariatrics but on the other supplements he didn't mind if they were different. Just chewable and sugar free.< /p>

I did a poll a long time ago asking about the best tasting, and Celebrate came out on top. I had the first one on Thursday... not bad at all.

I was wondering about these. Did you try the chewable or "gummy" type?

I did not. I just had my surgery 8 days ago. I ordered the Celebrate about 2 weeks prior, and tried one, and it wasn't bad. My pre-op instructions said no supplements, and post-op, I'm supposed to wait 2 week more, so I haven't really had them on a daily basis yet.

      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?
