Vitamins after surgery
I was wondering what all vitamins does Dr. Gibbs require you to take after your surgery? I know with my husbands surgery he has to take 2 multivitamins, 2 calciums, and a B-12. Is this the same for Dr. Gibbs? If it is different from his I need to buy some before I go in NEXT FRIDAY.
God Bless Cynthia
i take
flinstones with iron x 2 (this is ferrous fumerate iron too!!!!)
calcium citrate x 2
ferrous fumerate x 3
magnesium x 3
potassium x 1
vit c x 2
b12 x 4
I am 6 yrs post op and doing ok. I just pee greenish yellow....tmi I know.
who knows if I should take all of this...but I dont have any issues except for not eating enough and some weight gain. I was anemi****il I upped the iron. I dont go to the dr as none of the surgeons in Memphis will see me since they did not perform my RNY. Sucks to be me I guess.....
blah this day sucks.....me and my achey new boobs are going home in 20 mins to take a hot bath and drink a beer...um yeah those were the days. I am a cheap date
half a mcdonalds happy meal and 3/4 of a corona and I am trashed and someone is gettin naked.....hehehehe not really naked I just like to throw that in for sh*ts and giggles.

tantalizing tammy and her big ole titties
Jo Beth, the dietician for Dr. Gibbs, will give you a book on everything you need post-op and in it will be a list of recommended vitamins. She'll also go over it with you when you meet with her, if you're having your surgery at Baptist. I take a Flintstone chewable twice a day, a calcium supplement twice a day (Citrical w/ vitamin D petites) and a B-12 shot once a month. The only thing he absolutely requires is the multi-vitamin and calcium, the rest depends on your labs. You'll start your multi-vitamin a week after surgery and your calcium 4 weeks after surgery.
Hope this helps, if I've left out anything hopefully someone else will fill it in!
Take care,
