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.

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.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
