Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  Vitamin requirements I was instructed my the bariatric center where I will be having my surgery that I will need to take these vitamins: Multivitamin Calcium Citrate Iron Zinc Biotin Folic Acid Vitamin D Vitamin B12 Magnesium was wondering if you all could shead some light on the dosages and the best time to take these supplements. Are there liquid forms? Are some better than others to digest and easier to swallow? I was told to take one vitamin every 20 minutes. Some of these vitamins are HUGE....should I break them in half? Any help would be appreciated  Thank you, Valerie***  (My sugery is Mon Jan 22.....sure wish I would of found this site sooner!!) |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

| Super Moderator  | Check out Bariatrics Advantage Mutiform Chew from our eStore. I have linked in the product info page. When you take a close look at the label, you will be able to see that you can get the majority of what you are required. Bariatrics Advantage has a starter kit that should fulfil the requirements of your surgeon.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Goodmorning. Each doc has there own requirements and alot of what you will need to take post op will depend on how your blood levels are when monitored. Most will have you on at least a mulitivitamin and calcium and the minimum. One more that alot of docs require is iron. Iron stores deplete pretty fast and are very hard to get back up once they do. B12 is another common one very importatnt to maintain. Most of what they will have you take will again depend on how your levels are maintained post op. Personally i take Viactive Multivitam twice a day chocolate Citrical chewable calcium citrate chocolate mint, lemon or caramel flavored Iron B12 sublingual. That is what was required of me. Good luck. LittleLisaMarie
