Marie2016 87 Posted April 11, 2016 I use opurity. They are powerful. Definately worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maxcimax 220 Posted April 11, 2016 I was taking a Multivitamin I was getting from The Vitamin Shop. It was for people with bariatric surgery. Now I can't find it. The Vitamin Shop has had this vitamin on back order for a few months. Guess I need to find a new one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SthrnSwrHrt 3 Posted April 11, 2016 I actually use Bariatric Advantage which I file on insurance and they cover it so I get all the meds I need mailed to my home all for my $25 copay!!! Try it and they have a few other companies that do it the same just ask your doctor and they actually send the prescription to the company and then they'll contact you!

FocusOnMeNow 599 Posted April 11, 2016 Bariatric Advantage are the very best. Start taking them now for your May surgery and start taking an Iron and Calcium supplement as well but don't take them together because they each block each other's absorption. Might also want to start taking a Biotin supplement for your hair and D3 too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BonnieGail 10 Posted April 16, 2016 My Dr recommends Optisorce. Is around 39$ at walgreens for a month supply. I don't have a surgery date, waiting on approval, so haven't started taking. Right now taking a multi Vitamin and the Biotin. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisee68 2,493 Posted April 16, 2016 I really like BariMelt. Just had labs and everything was perfect. Sent from my HTC One M9 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SweetCin72 2 Posted April 17, 2016 I haven't had surgery yet but I am going to try a brand called Wellesse. It seems perfect because they are liquid and made with Stevia instead of Splenda. Has any one else used these with any luck? Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cheerios45 19 Posted April 19, 2016 I have been to the Bariatric Advantage website but there are so many choices. I was looking at the chewables; they have a Complete and an Essentials. Anyone use either of these? Which is better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
