jeaniek 22 Posted July 6, 2015 I am almost one year out on July 23. Just curious what Vitamins you all are taking? I have a dr appointment soon and sure he will go over everything that I need to continue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Livincrimson 20 Posted July 6, 2015 I'm taking two Multivitamins, folic acid, and two calmags daily, alone with Vitamin D 3 times weekly, and B12 injections monthly. Plus IV Iron infusions as needed. But to be fair, I have had absorption issues long before the surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aelovelady 243 Posted July 6, 2015 I take B12 (500 mg daily), calcium chews 2 x per day, and the Bariatric Advantage multi. I also take mega red krill oil, cause I don't need cholesterol meds anymore. I also take Biotin, even though I am no longer losing my hair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Livincrimson 20 Posted July 6, 2015 Does Biotin help with Hair loss? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aelovelady 243 Posted July 6, 2015 There is no "scientific" proof, but I felt better taking it. I did lose hair, but it wasn't horrible and it didn't last long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeaniek 22 Posted July 6, 2015 Thanks for your help. I have done pretty good with what I take. A multi, b-12, Vitamin d, Biotin, Iron and Calcium. I don't take iron like I should. I tend to forget. All my levels test out great I was just wondering what all everyone else has to take:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amyllf2 206 Posted July 12, 2015 I'm 15 months out and have not changed my Vitamin routine at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shirleybstephens 1 Posted November 25, 2015 I take Vita4Life Multi-Plus and I take 4 per day. My surgeon recommended I take Vita4Life products because I simply can’t stand chewables. I've had nothing but great results with them. I take their Chelated Calcium. Multi-standard, and sublingual B-12. I swear by these Vitamins. I was speaking to someone there the other day when I placed my order, and they’re coming out with chewables shortly. I believe she said they estimate 1-2 months. You may want to check them out if you prefer a chewable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WildGrits 101 Posted November 25, 2015 I'm under 2 years out and I don't take any supplements. My daughter however, has Grave's Disease and she takes the hair and nails Vitamins for Hair loss. It does seems to help. But the cause of the hair loss is different than our so IDK if that makes a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
