Your surgeon and/or your dietician should make this recommendation. I was advised to only take a multivitamin yet others are told to take iron, calcium, vitamin D, etc. as well as the multi. The type of surgery you have can also influence your supplement needs.

I believe the advice I was given was initially based upon my pre surgical blood work & they weren’t adjusted post surgery as my bloods always came back good. In fact I don’t take vitamins at all now - stopped at 8 months post surgery - didn’t need them & still don’t.

Everyone is different though & you may need to take additional supplements depending upon what you’re lacking in. No point taking a vitamin if you don’t need it - expensive & can too much can have adverse effects.
