Good Bariatric Multi-Vitamins



Recommended Posts

Hey friends! My surgeons office switched over to the "patch" Vitamins that you use on your skin, I can never remember to do those so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good Vitamin you can buy in stores or online. Also does anyone know of a calcium citrate vitamin that isn't huge?!

I actually use the Patches for extra B-complex Vitamins...and I really like them, but for multi-vitamins, I use Opurity brand that has been formulated for Bariatric patients. They use extremely clean ingredients and NOTHING from China. There are several brands out there, but I like these for a few reasons

  • No ingredients from China
  • Great source of Vitamin K which some others don't include
  • Full array of B vitamins
  • Source of B-12 (Methylcobalamin) is better absorbed for bariatric patients than those from Cyanocobalamin
  • Includes Iron
  • Includes Iodine
  • Includes Selenium
  • Very minimal ingredient list outside of the vitamins

There are a lot of good choices out there, and I would suggest trying a few different brands until you find one that works best for you. Best of luck!

      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?
