I had my sleeve on Feb 23, 2016. I've started noticing a major loss in eyelashes recently. Has anyone else experienced this?

You should...vitamins and minerals are very important to supplement when you're not getting proper nutrition from your food. Also, Protein is imperative to proper healing in the body. It also supplies your energy.

My NUT doesn't suggest we stay on them - she wants us to get used to eating "regular" food but I know I'm lacking in Protein so I started drinking shakes again this morning. Thanks! :)

Thanks emmajones34! I was taking them up until I had surgery and then couldn't for 6 weeks following with my surgeons guidelines on size of pills. I now cut them in half and started taking them again. They really do seem to help!

Amazed76, the Vitamins appear to help! I'm not sure if it's just time and circumstance or the vitamins but I'm so happy they're finally coming back! Yay!!

My nut actually made a joke about "Flinstone Vitamins DO NOT count!" My surgeon and nut both recommended either the Bariatric Fusion (with iron) or the Celebrate brand. Both are chewable and both are available on the BariatricPal Store. They are about the same price as my surgeon's office. Only thing I will say is that the Iron seems to be making me..... constipated lol. So watch out for that! Otherwise, they are pretty darn good vitamins.

      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?
