Need to find inexpensive bariatric vitamins. HELP!



Recommended Posts

Surgeons all say different things it seems. There is no real gold standard. I think a lot of it depends on your weight, blood profile, Vitamin deficiency's, etc. We are all different. It probably would not hurt to have a complete blood panel done and go from there. My surgeon told me the other day to take 2 Flintstone chewables a day. That's it. I also take Vit D3, Iron and B12 supplements.< br>

I had this for awhile. They sent me shakes and Vitamins covered by my insurance!

If your Dr says you need Calcium and Iron pills you need calcium and iron. Most women that are still menstruating will need them.

I use the Celebrate chewables and melts. Ordered off Amazon. Runs about $25 a month, although you have to order about 3 months supply at a time.

I say do whatever your surgeon tells you to do. Plus, you should take your bloodwork on a regular basis. If your labs look good, just keep doing whatever you're doing. There are some Vitamin and mineral deficiencies that won't show up right away and will take possibly years to show in labs.

We sell almost every brand of Bariatric vitamin in our BariatricPal Store:

You can use code this code for 10% off your order: BARIATRIC10

We also offer % off on a regular basis if you subscribe to any item.

      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!!
