Caveat: I will be asking my surgeon exactly what Vitamins I will need to take and will follow his advice directly. No need to tell me to ask him.
However....if the goal is to eat 60+ grams of Protein a day....shouldn't we be getting enough Iron that way? I've read where RnY patients need iron due to the malabsorption issues of re-routing the small intestine, yet sleeve patients don't have a true malabsorption after surgery.
Just looking for opinions on the issue of a Multivitamin with iron or a multivitamin without iron and then whether or not it's necessary to take extra iron pills as well.
