Last visit with surgron pre-WLS

[AshMarie794 165]

Today I am racking my nerves for this apt.

I have already been through this process before and was denied so doing it again it has been hard to deal with. Mentally its hard to stay positive about it. BUT today I will sign my consent for surgery and I already have my day booked. I just hope things go well.

So with this apt I am debating buying my Vitamins today. How many of you started your vitamins prior to surgery? I will talk to him about this today but don't know if it is really necessary to get them now or at my post op visit. My shipment of my Protein came yesterday and that was the first thing for surgery and life after that I have purchased. Exciting to see that box. Its getting real.

I started Vitamins before surgery. You don't want to start off deficient and then maybe not be able to take any for a while to due nausea.

Good luck!

I started before, but make sure you tell your surgeon, because they more than likely will have you stop certain Vitamins prior to surgery for like 2 weeks to prevent any issues while in surgery.

I started before surgery because I wasn't used to taking lots of pills and was nervous about abruptly starting them all on top of recovering from surgery. A few months ahead of my surgery I started slowly adding them in to my normal routine. I did have to stop them a day or two prior to surgery so be sure to ask if your surgeon has any specifics about that.
