For those of you who have had RNY with Dr. B, can you tell me what the vitamins are, specifically, that we are supposed to take. I know what they are, but can you tell me what strength, and what format, i.e. liquid, lozenge, etc.

I asked Rinette about vitamins, she said I would need only 1 Centrum Forte daily and later on i will need Calcium carbonate and maybe vitamin B. Because i no longer have peroids, she said I would not need an iron suppliment. Vitamins are a mystery to me. I've been taking vitamin B 100 complex since June when I started dieting seriously.

I'm sure others know more about vitamins than i do. I'm just relaying what Rinette told me.

I know that Dr B's crew don't recommend the Bariatric vitamins, but most doctors do, so that is what I intend to do. I have to take iron for other reasons.

Thank you guys for your input. I wonder why they don't think the bariatric vitamins are the way to go...

I'm having surgery on Thursday and will be seeing Rinette before i leave on saturday so I will ask her directly and see what she says. I will also be seeing my endocrinologist and dietitian in June as well and I will ask him and her too. I will get to the bottom of it because as a RNYer it will be important to me too.

Good luck on Thursday! I can't believe it's almost here.
