First Surgeon Appointment

I use the Optisource which you can get at Walgreen's or in the hospital pharmacy. Yeah I agree with you on Baritric's multi  it seemed a little strong.  Then I also use the Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate the Wild Cherry Flavored. At first they seem kind of strong but after a while they taste normal. I didn't like the chocolate one that we tried that night.  Also, I take a B12 sublingual that you can pick up in most pharmacies.  As for the iron not everybody has to take extra it just depends on how your body absorbs it. I had anemia issues and don't absorb it well do I do take two iron pills a day along with vitamine C.  To me I think buying all of those through Baratiric Advantage would be to expensive so I buy mine at Walmart or another pharmacy when I can find the sales. I agree that the B.A. iron was good but it only had a small amount of iron and I would have to have a lot of them throughout the day, which isn't good because you have to take them at least two hours away from your calcium pills.  So as you go through this process, you will see what will work best for you.

I got my 'packet' in the mail yesterday with all the dates and detalls, including the pre-op diet which is just as you said and doesn't look too difficult. That starts in a little over 30 days.
Thanks again for your help Nancy

Not a problem, glad to help.

Can us Hurley people sneak in and buy the BA products?

Yes, it is just in the pharmacy at McLarens hospital it is open to all.

Thanks!  I think I will get some from there to try rather than online.
