I know prior to surgery and following surgery you have to take Iron & B12 but does anyone have an idea of how much?

I'm new to this too and I'm so glad you asked this question...I bought a multi-vitamin made by opurity that's labeled bypass and sleeve optimized multivitamin, I wonder if I'm gonna need other supplements too. Susan

Your NUT will guide you!

How do you like it? I was looking at that supplement this morning. My surgeon gave me a suggested list of a multivitamin, Iron, b12, and Calcium citrate.

My surgeon and NUT reccomend more than just the multivitamin. If it is a standard multivitamin, take two each day, but the barbaric ones just one a day. Then an additional 1500mg calcium carbonate and 500mg b12 each day.

It's not bad...mine told me I might need b12, calcium citrate, and d.

As I did the budget Mexican surgery thing (out-of-pocket limitations) I actually don't have a NUT. So thanks for asking the question here. I'm trying to do my own thing with the best information I have on hand. :-)

Everyone's dosage might be different but I was told to take the maximum dose of over the counter iron that my drug store carried...which was 65 grams of iron. As far as the B-12, I have to take the sublingual kind...one droplet full per day. Consult your doctor first...but I hope this helps!!

My nutritionist recommends to all sleeve patients that they take a bariatric multivitamin, 500 mcg sublingual B12, 1500 mg calcium citrate, 5000 IUs D14, and 30 mg iron for premenopausal women (18 mg for men or post menopausal women)

Are all bariatric vitamins chewable? I just don't like the taste, and was hoping that later on I would be able to take one that wasn't chewable or gummy. If so, I'd love a recommendation.

Celebrate had bariatric capsules

It depends on your dr... Everyone says that... Mine says I can start swallowing whole pills after a month so I am going to suck it up for a month and switch to a regular multi-vitamin. My dr's requirements are a multivitamin with 400 mcg of folic acid, thiamin, selenium and zinc (take 2 a day) and then in addition to the multivitamin take 36 mg of iron, 1500 mg of calcium citrate taken as 3 doses of 500 mg (take at separate time from the iron as that causes issues), a vitamin B complex with B-50 dosage and Vitamin B-12 sublingual at least 500mcg a day...
