I have a sleeve & only took a multi vitamin too though I briefly took vitamin D (couple of months after surgery). I’m a big advocate of not taking vitamins without having a blood test to see what you’re actually lacking in first. Having too much of a vitamin can be just as concerning as not having enough. Plus vitamins are expensive & some of them you just pee out if you have too much. You can request a blood test whenever you want & don’t have to wait for your next surgeon’s appointment.
Stopped the multi at around 8 months. Didn’t need additional vitamins as blood tests showed I was getting all I needed from what I ate. I’m taking vitamin D again but only in Winter because we discovered my levels dropped then when I hibernate (hate the cold & bundle up so the sun isn’t able to reach my skin). Benefit of having regular blood tests & being able to historically track levels.

I'm on my 5th week post op GS , my eating is very strange , I can eat what I call wet foods , blueberry,Beans,Soup, strawberrys , I tried eating to poached eggs and I got nausea and ended up vomiting up the egg

I went to the ER about a month after surgery due to severe pain and swelling in my leg. Thought it could be a deep vein thrombosis. They did a ultrasound of the veins in my legs to verify and no clots. But clots in the legs is a very serious issue after any major surgery. I only got blood thinner injections while in the hospital. some more overweight people get a script for them for weeks beyond surgery

I didn't have to take blood thinners - but check with the clinic. You may have a medical situation I (obviously) wouldn't know about - or it could be that that clinic just requires them of everyone. But I'd check.

Hello, Can you call your surgerical clinic and ask if you still need it?
