Vitamins

I am pre-op and was wondering if you could share your experience with vitamins. Should I buy chewables? Can your new stomach tolerate pills?

Most of mine are "quick melts" which dissolve in your mouth and/or under your tongue. I use Bariatric Advantage vitamins and biotin over the counter pills for hair (trying to be proactive with the hair loss thing).. I think chewables will work too. Some ppl have trouble with pills during the initial post-op. But I take the biotin w/o a problem. No nausea/cramping at all. They are small pills though. I think it's just a matter of how you personally respond to them.

definitely get chewables.get multivitamin,calcium to start

then after you have labwork done after surgery,your surgery might add more to the list
