Bariatric Vitamins or Regular Multivitamins?

I am 6 months post-op and still using chewable bariatric vitamins. I have the sense that they are superior to traditional multivitamins. My surgeon says that regular multivitamins are now okay to take. The bariatric vitamins are more expensive. But what are you taking? Are you using bariatric vitamins or regular multivitamins? My blood work shows excellent absorption of the bariatric vitamins. Would a regular multivitamin have less optimal absorption?

I am 4 years out and I didn't take any for the last 3 years. Last summer I had an Iron Infusion because my Iron level was super low. I was also showed low levels of Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D. I recently bought the vita fusion gummies and love them. However, they don't say complete. When In am done with this bottle I will switch to One Day for Women gummies...those are better... I think. :-)

You haven't taken vitamin in 3 years? I thought it was for life we have to take vitamin.

Yes, correct...I haven't and that is why my vitamin and mineral levels are low, but I am changing that now. :-)
