Many of us have been advised against gummies as inferior nutrient value. Can't comment specifically on that brand however. Ask your NUT.

I don't take Centrum but I have been taking Women's one a day gummies. My surgeon said they were fine.

How have your labs been?

I have not had any; don't go back to the doctor until Dec 1.

I did take them prior to the surgery on 10/14/2015, but I was told not to take them anymore during post-ops. I really liked them and I didn't have side effects like I did with the other Vitamins that I have to take now.

There are no guarantees. If your surgeon okays it, then go for it. Mine does not allow gummies since they don't feel they provide complete nutrition.

I do. I take Centrum gummies and caltrate gummies. Have for 9.5 months. My labs are absolutely fine. No deficiencies.

I take 2 Children's Flintstones Vitamins per day, which was an option from my doctor. I may change later down the road, but they are good. I love them!

      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.
