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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
