Hey y'all, just wondering what everyone takes as in vitamins after DS. I am 6 months post op

I am on 3 multi vitamins a day, an extra 45 mg of iron pill, and 1800 mg of calcium ( 4 chews a day) I also take a biotin... any idea what a good dose of biotin should be ?

yikes i didn't know you had to take d and a separate? i take 3 multis at one time and my extra iron and calcium separate. But that's what the doc told me to take.

The Bariatric Advantage has a High ADEK Multi that is specifically for DS patients. You only have to take 2 capsules a day. I also take 45mg Iron and 1800mg Calcium. My bloodwork at 6 months out was perfect with this Vitamin regimen.

You only have to take them separately when you supplement them along with multis. Multis are ok. I’m just referring to when you have to additionally supplement .

You can take them with other vitamins (at the same time) but they can’t come in one pill (eg a combo Vit A and D pill)

Not unless and until your blood results say you need additional supplementation. I take 2 Multis a day. But I also take 35-40 other vitamins and minerals as my blood work shows I’m malabsorbing them and need to supplement.

Thanks for you input ! I really appreciate it... I'm only 6 -7 months out and I need to go in this month for my 6 month blood work ... then I should know how everything is going with that.
