Excuse my language, but I am SO FRIGGIN' CONFUSED. My surgeon reccomends Bariatric fusion or Optisource (each 4/daily) plus Iron, or Calcium/Vit D.

Honestly- this whole thing is baffling to me. I'm reading so many different things about what Vitamins to take, what you shouldn't take-- some people say BA are actually not so great for you...

Can they make up their minds?

I want an affordable Vitamin that will allow me to take as few as possible.

Not to mention- whey powder! My surgeon says to take Isolate, is that absolutely necessary? It's a bit expensive

Please give me some realistic solutions!

Go right to the source. Here is the link to the American Bariatric Society...no better source. This is the beginning of the section on vitamins.
