What Vitamins are you taking after getting the sleeve done just wondering if everyone is the same

nope everyone is very different. Some are just taking a multi-Vitamin and others like myself have a full range of vitamins

I take a multi 2x's a day.

calcium citrate with D 2x's a day

D3 2 x's a day

B12 subliminal 1x a day

I also take my regular supplements: Biotin and ZyrtecD

I had to crush my vitamin for the first month. I get my bloodwork check at my 3mth next week. I'm hoping to stop the calcium & B12 and drop the multi down to once a day.

Multivitamin, B12, iron, Calcium, and Vitamin D

How much vitamin D is everyone taking daily?

All I was told to take is an adult multivitamin and calcium chews.

I have to take Calium Citrate+D and I take 1,000 IU of D3 AM/PM.

What is the Biotin for ?

I take biotin for my hair. I am menopausal so I've been taking it for a while now. When I heard some people have trouble with hair loss I decided to continue taking it. So far no hair loss.

Every doctor has a different protocol since the sleeve is fairly new. Some doctors like mine err on the side of caution and recommend the same vitamin/supplement protocol as bypass patients. If you feel okay with what you are taking and your doctor has no concerns, I wouldn't worry about it.

Biotin is for hair & nails. It won't make you less tired or sleepy. You should talk to your doctor about B12 or my extra D or D3. They can tell you what dosage to take.
