They had me start after my surgery, about the second to third week, if I remember right... When I could chew up foods...

My Dr says chewable vitamins after surgery they are also prescribing a B12 nasal mist I do once a week again after surgery. And I think 3 or 4 weeks out I start calcium citrate at 3 months they do blood work to check my Vitamin levels

Every doctor is different if he hasn't mentioned it ask the NUT or nurse to tell you. I hAd to purchase my first month from the doctor and they are all chewable: Multivitamin, Iron, Calcium and anti-ox. Surprisingly they don't taste bad. Contact the dr and I am sure they will share this information with you

Mine had a nurse or NUT come in before I was discharged & told me exactly what to take & when. :-)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
