Bariatric Vitamins

[Jessica _ Stephens 12]

Did anyone have problems with the Vitamins you order and get delivered to your door and only pay your copay? Today was my first day with them and the iorn is making me burp a lot. . Wondering if I should try buying in the store instead of getting shipped. Suggestions?

THANK YOU!

I haven't had any issues. My surgeon recommended me to start the Iron at the 2.5- 3 weeks mark.

[Jessica _ Stephens 12]

So you haven't had to take all the Vitamins?

[omerbasa2807 12]

Yes, I am taking all the Vitamins. I'm taking Bariatric Advantage for now.

The Bariatric Advantage Vitamins made me vomit immediately. I have ordered Vitamin Patches.

When did everyone start taking the Vitamins? I didn't like the Bariatric Vitamins either so I bought all my vitamins separately

I started taking a Multivitamin 3-4 months prior to surgery and stop taking them a week before surgery. The Bariatric Advantage I started like a week after surgery.

If those Vitamins contained Iron, that is probably the reason why. It is common that Iron in the tablets makes people vomit. I had the same reaction from a chewable Vitamin for bariatric patients. The only time I've vomited since surgery.

Thats the reason my surgeon told me to start the Iron at week #3 because it tends to be kind of heavy for the new stomach and you may vomit. As far as I know the Bariatric Advantage the iron is separate, there is another company that everything comes in one chewable tablet if I'm not mistaken it's called Bariatric Fusion.

I received and started mine yesterday. I'm not having any issues with the Iron. I've literally gotten sick from the multivitamin. Last night it passed without coming up and I took a Zofran once I settled enough to tolerate the Zofran tablet in my mouth. Tonight the first multivitamin can't back up despite the Zofran. I broke the second one into 3 pieces and got it dissolved and down without any further problems. I really don't want to have to take Zofran every day. I've only taken 3 before yesteryear and surgery was 11/30/15.

I have been using the multi Vitamin patch for about 2 months in anticipation of surgery. I will be having lab work done on the 8th of Jan and I am anxious to see what my results will be.

I take the bariatric Vitamins, from mail. I had to wait until week 4 to start the Iron chewable. I started Calcium and the multi a month before surgery. I have had absolutely no issue with them. I like them really well. I have not had any issue at all with any food or drink at all, though.

My doc did say to wait a couple of hours between the Calcium and Iron pill. Are you taking them at the same time?

I can take all that I'm supposed to but am really bad and forget. I asked about the Patches and they told me not to do them. Not really sure what to do?
