Has anyone heard of the Myers Cocktail? It is a mixture of vitamins/nutrients that is given through IV so that the Vitamins are absorbed directly in the bloodstream rather than being digested. I just saw it on Dr. Oz and was interested just due to the fact that I have a hard time keeping up my vitamins. Just through the initial conversation, 1 lady gets the treatment monthly.

I'm curious if it would be beneficial or could replace a multi-Vitamin for us sleeve patients.

Unless you have a major illness your insurance won't cover vitamin infusions and they get costly. Anywhere from $100 - $300 each. They are not FDA approved and are mostly used in trying to help cancer patients .. Or those wanting to pay for the service themselves. I think trying to stay up on simple OTC vitamins is cheaper and easier

I take a high-potency prenatal vitamin, at the recommendation of my doctor. I've had no trouble swallowing it and it doesn't make me nauseated even though it has a very high iron level. It is a bit pricey at $60 for 100 pills, but that's $60 for over 3 months of vitamins, so only $20 a month. I'll take it. I was spending twice that a WEEK on fast food before being sleeved.

Here's the info I found on his site. http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/intravenous-nutrients-chew-on-that
