I had lymphoma 5 years ago then did bone marrow transplantation 4years ago. I had sleeve surgery 38 days ago my surgeon told me to eat 2capsules of multi Vitamin a day but my oncologist told me that u must not! Eat Multivitamin it may cause that ur cancer comes back! I don't now what to do ? Any one with this experience? Do u still eat Multivitamin?

I hope you find your answers soon, I'm no doctor and I just don't and can't fathom having what your body needs is a cause for cancer to come back. 80% or more of cancer is usually diet related, like processed foods and tons of sugar (which it thrives on). Congrats on beating the cancer! And good for you to take charge of your health with the sleeve. I really do hope you find your answers!

I've never heard of such a thing. In 1999 I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma stage 4 (aggressive). I had a stem cell transplant using my own stem cells. After going through chemo if you did I simply can't imagine a Dr. saying not to take Multivitamin. I am NOT a Dr. but I would certainly get a second opinion on that. Good luck and congrats getting thru your bout with cancer. God bless hun.

      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?
