Melinda Ann M 1 Posted November 8, 2016 Hey there everyone. So I feel like I may be alone in the world right now because there are no Multivitamins that have all the required levels of Vitamins for a gastric sleeve patient who is allergic to Iodine. I really want drink the least amount a pills a day but it seems impossible at this point. Someone with an Iodine allergy please tell me what you drink and how often. The Vitamin requirements that my doctor is asking for is the following: Calcium - 1200 mg Vitamin D - 3000 IU Iron - 45-60 mg B-complex (including Thiamine B1 - 100 mg) - 50-100 mg B12 - 350-500 mcg The vitamin is preferred in chewable form so that the body absorbs the vitamins faster and go directly into the blood stream.

Melinda Ann M 1 Posted December 7, 2016 Since no one replied to me I just wanted to give a quick update: I am finally drinking all of the Vitamins I need to be drinking daily. I know I can't possibly be the only human being with a gastric sleeve that's allergic to iodine, so for those who are below is a picture of the Vitamins that a sleeve patients needs to drink for life: If anyone has questions please feel free to contact me.

They did away with the "Essentials Vitamin with iron" due to problems in storage with it. https://www.bariatricadvantage.com/item/essential-multivitamin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
