Doing research and there's so many brands and types of vitamins for post op. What's your favorite? What's the worst? Anyone try the vitamin patches? Any insight would be really helpful!

The best vitamin is dependent upon the type of surgery you've had. People with lap bands or sleeves can get away with less supplementation than those with bypasses or duodenal switch procedures.

I was sleeved 2.5 years ago. I refuse to pay $40 for a 3 month supply of the overpriced bariatric vitamins, so I take an over-the-counter Centrum complete. My nutritional labs look good.

I had the sleeve and take the pill bariatric vitamin. I just started taking them about six weeks post op.

Centrum here as well... surgeon’s recommendation actually (as long as it has 400 folate in it).
