Vitamins and Absorption

So I went to my nutritionist the other day, and he told me that taking vitamins in pill forms only get absorbed 20% with lap band. I'm not sure that makes sense. He told me to get Centrum Silver Adult Chewables, 2x a day to get my vitamins. I have been taking men's health one-a-days but he says they're no good. How does this make any sense ?

I wonder if the pill doesn't stay in your system long enough to get the full benefit? The chewable will be broken down before it gets swallowed and can disperse easily. ....but if that's the case why aren't all of our pills chewable?? ...hmmm...
