Non-chewable vitamins



Recommended Posts

The nut sez I can go on non-chewable Vitamins, except calcium citrate, 4 weeks after surgery, which is less than 2 weeks from now. My regiment is a multi, B complex and Calcium citrate. I'm not sure how much to order since she won't give me an idea how long I'll be on this regiment, but the attached seem to be the smallest quantity at Bariatric Advantage. It's expensive! Is my order reasonable? Thanks.

I just bought a few months of the Vitamin Patches they have in the store here. Transdermal is supposed to be better absorbed so that's what I'm going with for now. The price is very comparable.

That seems expensive! I think I paid around $10 for my chewables from vitacost, I don't think there are as many tablets in the bottle but it's a months worth.

She said they're too big and it's too many per day.
I was cleared for all pills at one month post op. The calcium citrate I take are 500mg each so that's only 3 per day. chewable were at to expensivesorry for me.

I tried to edit but can't from my Kindle.....My mistake...My Calcium is 250mg per pill. I take 3, plus there is calcium in my multi Vitamin. I eat yogurt, cheese and drink milk. My labs have been good.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
