My doc told me just to take a chewable multivitamin. However, I was told by someone that taking B-12 would help my skin's elasticity.

By the way, Marissa, you are gorgeous!!

WHY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE RESPONSE AND THE COMPLIMENT! MAY I ASK IF YOU ARE MALE OR FEMALE? ONLY BECAUSE I KNOW MY DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT MENSTRATING FEMALES NEED TO TAKE AN ADDITIONAL Vitamin BUT I CAN NOT REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS. MAYBE Iron?

I am a female - to be honest, I don't know why I cannot get my pic to come up!!!

I am not sure about that vitamin, but since you are younger it might be folic acid, calcium, or magnesium. Sorry I wasn't much help doll.

Its okay i am just wondering how i am supposed to take all this stuff they are telling me to - medications - shots and like 4 or 5 different vitamins! i feel like i am always goign to have something in my mouth sheesh!

If you take a sufficient multivitamin, there shouldn't be much more that you are needing other than your daily Protein and calcium intake.

I totally recommend GNC's multivitamin for women. It has EVERYTHING you need in it and more. You can get it in liquid or get a pill-cutter to take it.

It is in a purple box with a pink flower on it - AWESOME!

by the way, if you view my public profile - you can really see that I am a chick and know what I am talking about with the women's multivitamin. HA :D Have a good evening Marissa!!

I am 22 years old and before my surgery I had to get chewable multi vitimans, liquid calcium, gas ex chewables, childrens luquid tylenol(didn't even use this, why would I since I got liquid codine by prescription)

calcium is the big one... is till take that becuase too much cant hurt but not enough can be THE WORST THING EVER!!!! my 22 year old friend lost bone density, and she shakes in pain at night... so anyways, hope this helps!

I am getting my chewables from www.bariatricadvantage.com I am getting the multivitamin, iron ( is what you are thinking of for menstrating females), and the calcium citrate. A year supply which worked out to be about $30 a month which is a little pricey but I will be saving more than that by not eating fast food anymore.

This will crack you up!!! "but it works" Flinstone Complete Chewables" now go back and read it again. I asked were they serious??? You bet ya!! This is out of Henry Ford Hospital, so I new they weren't kidding. It contains a certain ingredient Choline. They said that would be a very big plus to all of us. They also put me on Pepcid Complete. I get my calcium from this, and no sighn of Acid Reflux at all. "I think that stopped when I got banded."

I am very serious, I feel great!!!!! Shirley....:laugh :laugh

You no what?

it sounds crazy, but it really works. I haven't felt this good in a long time.

And yes they do taste good. That's a plus egh! Shirley...

Yup childrens vitamins for me, Plus calcium and iron pills. I'm 20 and as i was reading your thread it looks like the younger that you are the more supplements they have you take.
