Hello!

I was sleeved on 06/16/14... and know I need to start taking my vitamis....my doctor is recommending Bariatric Advantage, however I wanted to get recommendation on other options that are more economical.

thank you

I had mine on 6/5/14 and I had to go the economy route as well. I went to Walmart and got Chewable Centrum & liquid Calcium citrate and I went to costco for the B Vitamins. Good luck to u!

My doctor recommended Bariatric Advantage as well. I use them because I am just too nervous to try anything else. If you order from their website you should be able to get a discount if your surgeon recommends them. Mine is 15%. Also, go to www.insurenutrition.com and complete their insurance section. They will work with your insurance company and doctor to get their brand covered.

Thank you all for the responses.

The Bariatric Advantage vitamins made me very sick to my stomach. I tried it on several occasions to be sure and each time I felt very sick. My husband could take them fine but he didn't like the taste. I went to Centrum chewables and those go down great. I'm looking forward to my first set of blood work to see how my levels are.

I took alive for women chewables. Flintstone vitamins were recommended by my program but they gave me a rash.

I do Garden of a Life Vitamin Code for Women and Healthy Blood (a separate iron supplement) They are whole food based, not chemically synthesized vitamins and include probiotics and enzymes that my surgeon recommends. I also do B12 sublingual from Twin Labs since we can't absorbed B12 orally after VSG. I'm getting 6 month labs next week to make sure all is well.

I got some from celebrate vitamins and get a 10% discount as my dr recommended them. I use them for multi and calcium. The others I found ar Walmart or Amazon.
