most vitamins are water soluble, so if you take too much of a water soluble vitamin, you will wash it though your urine. doctors do not generally check vitamin levels unless there is anemia documented. Then they will check iron, folate and b12 levels. the only vitamins that can be dangerous if ingested in high levels are a,d,e and k.

i was banded in july 07 and have lost 80 lbs. your physician is wrong. your physician doesnt understand that you had a restricting procedure, not a malabsorptive procedure. 2 flintstones a day will supply you with the nutrients that you need to maintain good health with respect to vitamins. You may want to know who am i that i can contradict what a physician says, I am also an obstetrician. If you need any more help, let me know.

i am having the same problem. i dont see it as a problem though. i had my surgery done july 2007 and am down to 216 lbs from 290 lbs. i intentionally had my band tightened to this extreme. i am unable to tolerate anything solid at this time. i live on salad dressing and frozen cokes. is this dangerous, not so far as long as i can maintain my nutrition. i am in muscle breakdown but i have a lot of muscle mass. i was previously on injectable testosterone to help with weight loss. my surgeon tightened my band because i told him to. he knew that if he didnt i would do it myself so he did it. i am a physician and a gynecologist, so i have access to the means to adjust my band myself. talk to your surgeon and ask him his recommendations. you are still probably trying to ingest too much at one time. take sips, not swollows.
