Anyone having surgery in November?



Recommended Posts

Hi

Wow...our dates are exactly the same Stephanie! Right now I am researching and trying different supplements. I tried a cherry b-12 sublingual that was super gross. Hoping to find something better. Gonna try Bariatric Advantage berry multi Vitamin chews...I am hoping it tastes like a starburst:)

My date is also November 30th. It seems like there are alot of us with that date!!!! Yay!

I have tried just about every Multivitamin, Calcium citrate, and Vit B12.< /p>

I highly recommend Bariatric fusion mixed berry Multivitamin soft chews. They are fantastic and don't taste like a Vitamin at all. $22.99 for one month supply. 3 chews twice daily.

OR

For cheaper version ONCE a day ProCare chewable Multivitamin (size is not bigger than as aspirin)

$11.99 for one month supply.

These are very popular as there are not many Vitamins out there that you can get away with only taking once, they have been on backorder.

calcium citrate I highly recommend

Bariatric Advantage 500mg in Caramel flavor. Delicious!!! Tastes like a caramel butterscotch. They are a bit pricey though.

Vitamin B12, I highly recommend the Celebrate sublingual quick melt in mint flavor. These taste great, like a sweet mint, and melts super quick. Very reasonable price 15.95 for 3 month supply

I just tried the calcium chews from bariatric advantage and I totally agree the caramel is awesome I also like the raspberry. I just got a variety pack of Bariatric Fusion shake mixes I am trying all the flavors to see which one I would like to go with for my liquid reduction diet! Thanks for the info.

I will try the mint b12...thanks for the suggestion! I am excited for all of us with November surgery dates. Think we should start a Facebook group as others have done for people who share the same surgery month. Being able to message in real time with Facebook might be cool. Anyone interested in this?

Hi, I'm new. I am having surgery on November 19th and I'm scared to death!!! Scared about the surgery and all of the changes. Glad to find this group!

P.S. - my doctor didn't mention a pre-op diet. Anyone else not having to do one?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
