I went to Vita Lady and printed the recommended vitamins and time of time day. Then I adjusted as I got my blood work done. It's better to be a little high and stop taking something then low and trying to build it back up.

I would suggest taking VSL#3DS, it is the best probiotic I have used. as DSers we have dybiosis, too many anarobes, it has made a day and night difference. I have been on it for many years, it has 900 Billion CFU.
If you have a specific question for me, PM me or I will not see it, as I don't check responses on the forums and don't have anything forwarded to my email.
I'm sooo excited! I've been approved for DS, revision to the gastric bypass. Surgery date is 7/23/19 and i can't wait!!!
Can you please give me some advice as to what I should expect after the surgery?
How do you manage all the vitamins? How is the liquid diet before and afterwards? When can you exercise? How long is the recovery period i.e time off from work?
As you can tell I'm well excited!!! Any advice is very much appreciated!
We are all so different. My DS is not your DS, because each surgeon does his own measurements. You might need more (or less). I take these everyday: A,B,C,D,E,K2 (twice)--so 7. I take copper, zinc, and iron on separate days. (iron dose is Mon-thurs; zinc and K1 on Friday- Sunday), and copper just one day every other week-- that adds 2, making 9 daily. (Because of the cardiovascular risk with calcium and atherosclerosis, I have elected not to supplement, based on my family history. I don't advocate anyone else doing this.) My labs and PTH are fine at 13.5 years. Don't do what I do. Adjust based on your labs.
I know a few Dr. Inman patients from when I lived in Ohio and we often met up somewhere in between. They spoke very highly of her, so you're in great hands.

Yes sorry, this vitalady list was from when they were out. I take 2 twice a day.
Please make sure you understand the long term affects of malabsorption and how you are going to maintain your levels for decades to come (considering you are 23), as well as commitment to the DS and the vitamins, supplements, protein, and labs that go along with it (for the rest of your life).

Divided morning, noon and evening I take about 40 - lots of calcium, devrom, D3, K1, K2, multi and various minerals, etc. which keeps all my numbers in the normal range.
