May I ask, what medications were you prescribed after your RNY surgery? Trying to make sure I have enough money for the meds that maybe prescribed. Thank you for the responses ahead of time!

Hello Slimming Down Steve!!!

I was only prescribed some Pantoprazole, muli vitiams, Iron and Calcium.

[AZhiker 2,251]

Some pain med - I requested Tramadol over Percocet. Only needed it a couple of days and then used liquid tylenol. Some Zofran for nausea - never needed it. Omeprazole.

Then of course you need your bariatric Multi Vitamins with Iron. Also calcium citrate, Vitamin D, Vitamin B-12. All the Vitamins are OTC - the best deal you can find for multivits is here on the BariatricPal site.

My only prescription was for Protonix, but only for two months after surgery. The rest is all OTC and is exactly what AZhiker said. My Vitamin D is included in my Calcium.

Multivitamin. Calcium and B12

Hi Superman 🙂 I was prescribed Iron, Calcium, a multivitamin, another multi Vitamin to take weekly, and B12 injections once every 3 months . I didnt have to pay anything . I was sent home with the initial months supply and then got them on prescription, but Iam in the UK, It may be different where you are .

Thank you all so much for your answers. Peggo; it's totally different over here. Most insurances will cover the surgery but anything else is your problem.

Hello, I was given my first B12 shot at hospital and this was prescribed monthly. I was also prescribed pain meds. That was it for me.

Yes , that seems a bit tough . I guess we’re lucky to get it on the NHS, and shouldn’t take it for granted , but we could possibly lose that with the new government . I hope you do ok and can get your Vitamins . Good luck .
