I take Optisource Chewable vitamin & mineral supplement. Your can buy them on line at Walgreens.com. They are specially formulated for use after bariatric surgery.

I was glad to find this thread, I was beginning to think I was all alone in SD. I was banded by Dr. Reynolds on Sept. 26, 2006. I had my first fill on Nov. 17. I have lost 32 pounds so far.

Congratulations on your band! We were banded the same day and I'm also recovering at home. Hope you are doing well.

I too am a September Banster 09/26/06). I had the surgery yesterday and am home feeling quite well. I've been one of those 900 + people lurking around the site for the past month. This is my first post as I thought it would jinx me if I posted before the surgery. It's been a long four months since I first had a consultation with my surgeon. The wait was worth it and I am on my way to becoming lighter and healthier. By the way my user name is what my ten year old granddaughter calls me!
