What Vitamins are you taking after getting the sleeve done just wondering if everyone is the same

nope everyone is very different. Some are just taking a multi-Vitamin and others like myself have a full range of Vitamins

I take a multi 2x's a day.

calcium citrate with D 2x's a day

D3 2 x's a day

B12 subliminal 1x a day

I also take my regular supplements: Biotin and ZyrtecD

I had to crush my Vitamin for the first month. I get my bloodwork check at my 3mth next week. I'm hoping to stop the Calcium & B12 and drop the multi down to once a day.

What is the Biotin for ?

I take Biotin for my hair. I am menopausal so I've been taking it for a while now. When I heard some people have trouble with Hair loss I decided to continue taking it. So far no hair loss.

I don't think taking the right Vitamin I only take a multi. Vitamin B12 and Calcium

Every doctor has a different protocol since the sleeve is fairly new. Some doctors like mine err on the side of caution and recommend the same vitamin/supplement protocol as bypass patients. If you feel okay with what you are taking and your doctor has no concerns, I wouldn't worry about it.

Biotin is for hair & nails. It won't make you less tired or sleepy. You should talk to your doctor about B12 or my extra D or D3. They can tell you what dosage to take.

      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.
