DR PUPKOVA --pt's please help
I had my surgery on june 2 rny with dr pupkova. The problem is im really dumb. I lost the paper i was given on the first post op appt that says what supplements to add when. I have my B12 and have been taking one a day i think its 2 for 1000mg but not sure. If someone could please post what was onthe paperwork or pm me i would greatly appreciate it. I went to get it yesterday and i dont knwo which "safe place" i put it in....and with the holiday weekend i figure it would be difficult to get one sent to me.
Thank YOU,

Amy,
You should call Michelle, Dr. P's assistant and she should be able to give you what you need, or call Dr. P herself, she would rather you call then not and taking your supplements is not something to mess with, it's more important than anything else, it is your health and life we are talking about. . .
I will tell you that in all likelihood, you should be taking 2 chewable multivitamins a day, along with B-1 and sublingual B-12. I was told to take 100 mg of B-1 and 1000 mg of B-12, but as everyone else said, it may not be the same for you, as if you had any deficiencies prior to surgery, yours would be different, I believe the URSO was started at 4 or 6 weeks post-surgery, but I can't remember.
Have a safe and Happy 4th. Laureen
