OP I'm sorry! I hope you can get your levels back up and feeling better soon. It took courage to share this. All the best to you.

Chewable Vitamins can be great.
Just want to say that Nascobal offers both pills to swallow and chewable. I talk about nascobal a lot on here but partially because it makes my life so much easier and helps me get my vitamins. Also only 25 dollars a month for me because it is a prescription.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App



I also use Nascobal. I thought the chewables would be great, but for some reason, they made me sick to my stomach. I switched it to the tablets. Looking forward to getting this shipment in.

I'm still stuck on the odour?

Yes...maybe people are just too polite to tell me I stink, but I feel fairly odorless...I have never heard of the RNY Reek.

In fact, I smell much better (to myself). Before, I could always smell my own sweat. Now I don't...

It was offered to me through my surgeon's office. My nutritionist actually presented it to me and sent it in from the doctor's office. Call your doctor's office to see if they participate. It has to be sent in from the doctor's office because it is actually a prescription.

As to the odor question... I sat in a small office for 2 hours next to a bypass patient (12 years out). She was normal bmi, and no odor.

Possibly they are referring to gas or skin infections.

I am 13 years out and have never had an odor other than the normal ones when I really work out and sweat or sometime when I eat broc and have gas real bad. lol never have ever heard of this one at any of the support groups or Facebook sites I use either.

I think even without a weight loss surgery in the picture your current diet and lifestyle would get you sick. Dehydration is very easy to achieve and most people dont drink nearly enough liquids as it is.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
