Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass    |  Multi Vitamin and Iron Question? Should you take an Iron supplement with your Multivitamin or space it? I know that you should not take Calcium and Iron together, but there is Calcium in a Multivitamin. |

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.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I still need to get some calcium. I was taking the wrong kind in the beginning. My RN at the hospital said to stop taking the chewable one that I had got from Walmart since it was not Calcium Citrate. |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Ok, I suppose that I will have to go and get some today then. Thanks!! Kenya, I was told by my surgeon adn RN that we absorb the Citrate better. And they tend to frown on the Tums and such. Who knows, as we have seen, each and every surgeons requirements here are totally different in so many ways. |
