I don't have my surgery date yet but was told I can have it in February but want to be prepare! Can my doctor prescribe me some?

My surgeon's office gave me a list of required Vitamins.

Pre-op I was required to start extra D3 in addition to my Multivitamin and extra Iron because my iron was low.

Post-op I have a list of required vitamins (that includes those from pre-op) and a recommended schedule for taking them.

You'll likely receive recommendations from your surgeon as your surgery approaches. Most sleeve patients are required to be on a multivitamin, Calcium +D3, and B-12. My nutritionist also wanted me on a probiotic.

Wat was the probiotic for. ?

Similar experiences as @@Inner Surfer Girl mentions.

My bariatric program provided a list of the exact recommendations.

I've since gone off the reservation and been dabbling at GNC and finding better deals and more specific products.

You will see MANY MANY posts on these forums about constipation post-op. I never had any problems at all with constipation since surgery and I thank my probiotic for it. I think it really does help! Often in those threads, I see many posts from people saying they take a probiotic and don't have trouble with constipation and most of the people who DO have trouble, don't take a probiotic. Thriving gut bacteria is essential for proper digestion. Most of the ultra-pasturized, anti-biotic fed foods we get in stores today don't provide the proper flora for a healthy digestive system. Taking a probiotic daily can help restore gut bacteria and then eating prebiotic foods helps to feed those bacteria.

What brand of probiotic ?

@@shelly7 I'm taking insync now. I buy it on Amazon, because it's way cheaper there than in my grocery store.
