Vitamins anyone please...NEED HELP

 Hi All I am looking for info for vitamins. Does anyone know if there is brand out there made special for bariatric patients? I want to stalk up.  It is so confusing on what vitamin to take and how much. I know my doc will give me that info but I want to get as much info as I can on my own as well. 

The two companies that I can recommend, and that will also send you samples if you contact them are Celebrate Vitamins and Bariatric Advantage.
Both make chewable sugar-free vitamins that are specifically made for bariatric patients. Not sure how they will go in sales/sending to Canada, but it can't hurt to contact them for the samples and find out.
Many patients also mention that what they once liked and enjoyed the taste of, tends to change after surgery. So both companies offer a few options in regards to flavour of the chewable multivitamins.

I use bariatric advantage. I got them from www.vitalady.com

Personally, I find all the chewables gross, but I put up with them anyways.

 Do they ship to Canada? I been looking trying to find a vitamin that is sold for this specific surgery. I will send them a message.

Hey,

Yes they do. I live just outside Montreal and I ordered from the directly.

 Hi Heidi,

Thank you so much for the info. What type do I buy or should I wait until I am given all the info from my surgeon? I just got the approval and had my first appt. Will get all details next week.

Thanks,

Hi Betty Jo,

I ordered the Bariatric Advantage Tropical multi. Here is the link to it: http://www.vitalady.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=1375X180

You don't need to wait until you see the surgeon. I ordered 2 bottles of 180, over 6 weeks before the surgery. I started taking them during the pre-op diet and still take now.

PS Where do you live?

 Hi Heidi,

I live in Kahawake on the other site of the Mercier Bridge. Thanks for the info. I will check into it.

 Hi Heidi,

Just wanted to ask, how many do you take daily? and do you take any other vitamin pills then this one or does it have all what you need?

Thanks again,

Betty Jo

PS sorry for all the questions. I just want to make sure I do this right.

Hi Betty Jo,

I take 2 per day. I don't need anything else because these have it all.

No problem!

Heidi
