I am 8 months post sleeve as of yesterday. I am unable to see my surgeon because he moved out of town, hours away and no longer takes my insurance. At this point what Vitamins should I be taking? I take a lot of stuff and want to streamline. What do you veterans take every day?

I'm 8 months and have been having regular blood work all along. I get a B12 shot every 6-12 weeks and take a Multivitamin daily. No longer on Iron or Calcium as my levels are good with my diet. That's it for me!

You can just see a primary doctor and have them do your blood work.

I take a multi, Iron and b-12 sublingual. I have always had to take Iron even before surgery because I struggle with anemia.

I find it very difficult to believe (or accept) that he moved without forwarding information (unless he's trying to disappear ;) ).

You should still be able to get in touch with him somehow by phone.

For me, I take:

opurity Multivitamin

PatchMD Vitamin B patch

Ortho-Molecular B-Complex

Probiotics (SporeBiotic and Garden of Life)

LifeExtension Magnesium

WHC UnoCardio 1000 + Vitamin D 1000 (Fish Oil)

coq10 (not needed but I like them)

I'm at 22 months and I take 2 Flinstones complete and 2 Calcium with Vitamin D.

This is what my surgeon had told me and I still take them. Also a 10,000 unit of Biotin for my hair and nails. I'm 59 now and my hair is in great shape and nails grow fast!

Good Luck
