The Unjury website www.unjury.com sells Opurity vitamins. They have a bariatric multivitamin customized for gastric band patients. Would these vitamins be good for VSG too? I'm thinking they would since both procedures are restrictive with no intestinal bypass. Also has anyone tried these. I'm wondering what they taste like.

Yes, my doc recommends but I found one I like at The Vitamin Shoppe in my town. Only 1 of 2 they carry and it is pineapple flavored. I tried the Flintstones which some people recommended but I hated them.

Goodluck!

I emailed unjury and asked which of their Vitamins would be suitable for VSG. Here is their reply:

Hi Tina,

Thank you for your interest in OPURITY Vitamins!

At this time, the American Dietetic Associate is recommending that Vertical

Sleeve Gastrectomy Patients take a chewable multivitamin with 200% of the DV

of at least 2/3 of nutrients, as well as, a separate calcium citrate

supplement.

Some patients do require additional Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D.

We are recommending that Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy patients use the

OPURITY BYPASS OPTIMIZED Multivitamin along with Calcium Citrate Plus.

Please let me know if this information is helpful.

Kind regards,

Jenny
