I was also told to take a multi vit/mineral and Calcium. I take chewable Centrum for adults (or pharmacy brand) and chewable calcium. I also take a liquid B12 and I add vit D drops in the winter. All my blood work came back normal after a year, so it's working.

I have to look thru my paperwork again and see what they specifically recommended. I know there were a few different ones or they said you could take something like Bariatric Fusion which is a chewable that as everything in one. But there are a couple of those "all in ones", so I'll have to look into them more.

I take the Viactiv chewable, it tastes yummy! I also take Vitamin D, Biotin, B1 (because I am deficient), Calcium and potassium (because I take a diuretic).

Check with your doctor to see what you should be taking.

      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.
