It's funny how different surgeons say different things. I was told under no circumstances should an RNY patient use flintstones Vitamins. I was told bariatric vits or Centrum silver (or its generic equivalent). Not using flintstones complete had something to do with ASMBS guidelines for bariatric patients.

I personally take Centrum silver.
