enaking23 1 Posted October 16, 2017 Doing research and there's so many brands and types of Vitamins for post op. What's your favorite? What's the worst? Anyone try the vitamin patches? Any insight would be really helpful!Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Introversion 1,876 Posted October 16, 2017 The best Vitamin is dependent upon the type of surgery you've had. People with lap bands or sleeves can get away with less supplementation than those with bypasses or duodenal switch procedures. I was sleeved 2.5 years ago. I refuse to pay $40 for a 3 month supply of the overpriced bariatric Vitamins, so I take an over-the-counter Centrum complete. My nutritional labs look good. 1 enaking23 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
