Post-Op Vitamins
I was looking online for the best prices for post-op vitamins and I saw this on Walgreens' site, and I was wondering if anyone here has tried them? OptiSource Post Bariatric Surgery Formula. It had many good reviews and a great price and I'm thinking of getting them. Bariatric Advantage seemed a bit overpriced and had too many pills to take.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

umm - I never took any vitamins that were WLS specific. Always took just regular azz vitamins.... Wal Mart brand at that....... I'm cheap..... but healthy!!!!
I don't just have issues, I have subscriptions! I'm saving on the newsstand price.......

I take an additional vit D and B1 per my PCP order (and iron ~which I rarely take~) I was low on those vits so I had to add them to my regimen.
I take OneSource prenatal 3 days a week to get in my Folic Acid.
I take WalMart, CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, etc. Wherever the sale, there is Dedee!
The key is to ENSURE you have your bloodwork tested on time and ensure not to take your vitamins at least 72 hours before your bloodwork. ~that will gurantee a good read~
