So I had my surgery it went very well was in a lot of pain I lost 50 pounds the first month and so on I have lost 230 pounds and that feels wonderful but all they told me was I could die on the tabel and I might have to wear a bag on my side later on in life and that it. a friend of my had it done a few years ago and they gave him a gastric bypass bible and told him to flowe it for life so I have not took any vitame or anything feel kind of stupid.

That's not good on the Dr's part. You should be taking a Multivitamin once a day, calcium citrate twice a day 600 each time, B12 , & Iron if you still have a period. This is what my Dr told me.

Hello Pam,

It's good to read that you're doing well. But, you might want to call around and find a bariatric support group near you. They would be able to help even more. You'll hear different ways people are doing with their Vitamins, maybe someone could give you a copy of their Vitamin schedule. Keep up the good work!
