    We took vitamins in the months leading up to surgery....but the last week pre-surgery, we were told to stay off them. We started them up again two weeks post-surg.

Your surgeon and dietitian would be best equipped to answer this question since all bariatric programs have differing requirements.

Some programs require pre-surgery supplementation, whereas others don't.

Personally, I wasn't required to take any vitamins or supplementation until the first week after surgery.

    I figure it can't hurt to make sure your body's stores are all full so I started a month early.

    Yes, normally you want to stop taking the vitamins 7 days before surgery to minimize bleeding. I think I started mine back up 6 weeks after surgery.
