I've been taking some things at soft gels. Recently, my surgeon posted info saying people with bypass don't get anything from the use of soft gels and needed to only take vCaps or tablet forms. Has anyone heard if this is the same for sleeved patients?

I was just diagnosed with ADHD and I is recommended to take fish oil, but they are all soft gels.

I am not sure where these doctors are getting this info. The sleeve is not a procedure where you should have any absorption issues, unlike the RNY. If you swallow a fish oil pill and 1/2 hour later you taste fish oil burps, your body is absorbing it. lol

LOL - I highly recommend the "burpless" variety! And Endless80 is so right - those burps will let you know!

As far as soft gels for sleeved patients, I just had my post-op appointment with my surgeon and was put on a high dose of Vitamin D (prescription strength) and it's a soft gel. I'm thinking if soft gels were a problem, it would be in my paperwork, etc. Good luck!

^{I take a lot of vitamins and minerals - some are softgels - I've never heard of any issues of us taking them.}

Soft gels work for me.

Good. This makes things so much easier!
