I use the opurity chewable. I know there are others, did you check with your nutrionist? The Opurity are a little tart for some, but you don'e have to swallow so it's easier for me. Also, you can check this site for more info and choices - bariatricchoice.com - there are a lot of kinds there. Hope this helps.

My nutritionist recommended Vitamins from Celebrate Bariatric supplements. You can go to their website (http://www.celebratevitamins.com/) and order a sample pack of all their Vitamins & supplements for $3. Look for the link on the left side of the page, third box from the bottom. The chewables are actually quite tasty.

I ordered all my Vitamins from LuckyVitamins.com. I have Centrum chewables in orange flavor, calcium citrate wafers in citrus flavor, Vitamin D in a berry flavor and Iron is berry flavored too. My B12 is a nasal spray that I take once a week and I got that in a prescription from my nutritionalist and insurance pays for that. They arent that bad the worst one is the Iron its a little bitter but its tolerable. The best part was the price I paid for all was really good considering other options out there.

My NP said any chewables as long as the had all your minerals as well, so I'm taking Centrum multivitamin/multi mineral chewables.

A caution on gummy vitamins, they do not contain Iron. The pharmaceutical companies have not been able to find a way to get iron in a Gummy. I use Flinstones Complete chewables and Centrum Petites for Calcium.

      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.
