Does anyone take multivitamin?



Recommended Posts

Hi! I was banded on june 4th and I was wondering when should I start taking Multivitamin??? My Dr suggested the Bariatric Advantage Vitaband...does anyone know that brand?

By the way anyone comes from Montreal? I was banded by Dr Miller (self pay) in a private clinic. It was absolutely wonderful, great team and it was like a 5 stars hotel!!!:rolleyes:

My surgeon didn't have me start taking Vitamin until second week post op. I do take the Bariatric Advantage and like them fine Do some searching for them online, you can find them cheaper than the BA website.

Straight after surgery I was taking a liquid multivitamin but it ended up taking me half the day to drink and it wasn't that great so I switched to a complete Vitamin and mineral substitute. At the moment it's fine but I know once I start getting fills I'm going to have to change it or cut it up in case it gets stuck

what about for people in Australia? does anyone know of any multi Vitamins that are easy to get down?

I take the Centrum Multivitamin, it's about the size of your thumb nail I guess and it's pretty easy to swallow. But we definitely need chewable ones here in aus.

      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?
