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.

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. :)

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.

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.

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:)

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?

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
