I have a friend that had the sleeve and his doctor told him he could take Flintstones Vitamins. My question is what do you use. I looked up the vitamins my Dr recommended and I just can't spend over $100 a month on vitamins.

I'm using Vitafusion for women from costco. They go on sale often as well. They taste a bit sweet though

I use Flintstones Complete. I'm nearly 1.5 years out and completely healthy.

I just had bloodwork done last week... The only thing abnormal was my "high" B 12 level... Imagine that! LOL

I am taking Centrum chewables , orange flavor, but plan to switch to the normal ones as soon as these tun out. Not a fan of chewable Vitamins. 10 dlls per bottle of 100 tablets. 100 dlls month is way too much for me too.

How does everyone feel about those gummie Vitamins??

Some woman on this baratric Facebook page was kind of rude to me after I'd posted that my surgeon said they were OK to take, and she went off and said they AREN'T ok, that people can die from taking them, and that I need to do my research.

Most gummy vitamins are incomplete and not recommended. I've never heard of anyone dying from them. Heck, you can die by choking on a normal Vitamin. That woman sounds like an ass.

      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?
