post op vitamins in the UK?



Recommended Posts

HI all,

I am having surgery on July 10th 2018 and am struggling to find multivits in the UK. I know many surgeons (including mine) recommend to take Forceval but when I compared the amount of vits and minerals in it with that of Multivitamins designed specifically for bariatric surgery, the Forceval has much lower amounts of pretty much everything.

I've tried shipping some vits in from Bariatric Advantage (from mainland Europe) but after spending £200 they never arrived and am struggling to get my money back. So for this reason I'm reluctant to order from another overseas supplier.

What multivits are people taking in the UK? or are you just sticking to Forceval and maybe doubling up on them?

Im a bit worried about developing deficiencies post surgery.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
