Not sure how new this is but I just stumbled upon a multi vitamin that is specifically for DS/SADI that includes 60mg of iron, ADEK and some other stuff that is specific to the switch surgeries. Just thought I’d share in case someone else didn’t know about this. It’s made by procare health. They actually sell it in the bariatric pal store but currently it’s cheaper on the manufacturers site if you do multiple months and/or subscribe for auto ship.

I have been using this multi vitamain for several years as a supplement to the regular vitamins I take anyway. This one is really expensive (over $40 for 1 month supply). I take normal less expensive vitamins and add 1 of these as extra coverage.

Are you sure it’s the same one? On their site it’s $39.99 for Three month supply and cheaper if you sign up for autoship.

I take the same vitamins and minerals. I’ve always taken, but I take 50% higher dose. I have found that my vitamins that I take pre-surgery were higher end doses than a lot of of the bariatric medications so I don’t pay for those high prices when they have less in them than what I already take.

I am a female in my 50s and I take a Centrum Silver for men because it has higher doses than the one for women

I do not take shoes or Gummies because the pills break down slower and have a chance to actually get absorbed better than a gummy

I take calcium chews at night three of them instead of the recommended two and in the morning I take everything else along with my iron and vitamin C . again 50% higher dose and my blood work is fine

Just got my 6 month labs back and they were good with the pro care health SADI one a day and 3 calcium chews from bariatric advantage.
