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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
