Vitamins

[SRP1985 16]

Question about taking Vitamins. Can’t call my surgeons office u til tomorrow and that’s when I am to start so wanted to get opinions off here.
I had gastric bypass on August 1, my surgeon told me to start the vitamins this up coming week. I purchased the Pro Carr One a Day from the office. Am I suppose to take Calcium as well?
I also was told from another person who had this surgery to start hair skin and nails. Does anyone take that just 12 post op?

Calcium is very important. I did my one a day multi Vitamin and 1500mg calcium daily. I eventually added in Biotin for hair and nails.

@Msdooloo ok I wasn’t sure if I was to start the Calcium right away I couldn’t remember and couldn’t find it in any of my paper work.

Yeah as long as the chewable Calcium. Good luck with your recovery!

That's the thing, we learn as we go and since everyone's surgery and recovery are a little different,we take all the wisdom and see how it fits in our own life.
