Vitamins?

I know this may sound stupid..but what do vitamins really do for us? Is it because we don't get much nutrients now? If I don't take them will I lose my hair?

Vitamins and minerals keep us healthy. All sorts of diseases are caused by lack of vitamins and minerals. You take Calcium to keep your bones strong. Lack of it can cause osteoporosis or even weak bones which could cause a fracture. Lack of Vitamin C can cause scurvy which can make you have gum disease for just one. Each vitamin has a specific job in your body.

After VSG surgery, you are not eating a variety of foods to get your vitamins and minerals, so it is extremely important that you at the very least take a daily multi-vitamin. Whatever vitamins your doctor recommends, you should take to keep yourself healthy.
