Has anyone done the Myer cocktail? Vitamins through IV



Recommended Posts

Has anyone heard of or tried the Myer cocktail? My daughter and I were told about it when she had the sleeve done so she could get her Vitamins through IV

Hi I am actually thinking about doing that after my surgery. I contacted a naturopathic doctor and he recommended one before and after. Another naturalopathic doctor recommended one 4 days post op since I am taking my vitamins. I'm still debating it since it is a little pricey.

I'm trying to find out how often you should do then I have been told weekly 1time month every 3 months so I'm a little confused :)

There's no evidence this stuff works or is worthwhile. A few minutes on Google and you should suspect there's at least a reasonable chance this is a scam.

I would discuss any medical treatments with a real physician or your surgeon, so you can save your money and time. The closest thing to Vitamin infusions are B vitamin injections which actually makes sense for some bariatric patients

My daughter had the sleeve done in Mexico and her doctor told her she should get the cocktail and he does them for himself quite often.

      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?
