Hi! I found a kids vitamin by New Chapter at Whole Foods that is in a little packet, almost like a pixie stix and it's just crystals that you throw in your mouth and let dissolve. They aren't too bad, not great, but edible and easy. Right after a fill, I take a couple of those every day.

Isabell, I know exactly where you are coming from!! After being slim, pretty and very active until I was about 38, I started gaining weight during my divorce, lost my mom under tragic circumstances and then lost everything in Hurricane Katrina, I gained about 150 pounds! I had always done well at work, but took time off from the professional world when I lost my mom. When I went back to work I couldn't believe how I was treated!! It was totally different. I told one of my friends that I wasn't "in with the in crowd" anymore. I was banded on 8/12/08 right at 300 pounds. I am now around 275, maybe lower, and I have started walking almost every day again.

I went to Dr. Simpson. I was banded on 8/12/08. I like everyone in the office and they have all been very helpful. If I e-mail a question they get back to me fairly quickly. One of the reasons I went to Dr. Simpson is because Lapband is all he does. My surgery took all of about 20 minutes. They give a lot of support.
