Have any of u seen or heard of Celebrate Bariatric Vitamins? Went to Pre-op Class today and Nut suggested them especially because they have a vitamin regimen made exclusively for different wls patients. Based on the DS Celebrate regimen looks like u take 12 pills a day, here is the break down.
AM 1 MVI, 2 Calcium Plus or 1 Calcium 500, 1 DS Essential(see description), 1 B12(weekly)
Mid-Day 1 MVI, 2 Iron
PM 1 MVI, 2 Calcium Plus or 1 Calcium 500
Bedtime 2 Calcium Plus or 1 Calcium 500
Total: 12 a day or 9 a day
I would also like to add Biotin to this and Devrom.

(DS Essential-Developed for Duodenal Switch patients, this product is taken in conjunction with our Multivitamin (capsule or chewable) and Calcium PLUS(tablet or chewable).   This is a 1 capsule per day "add on" to our gastric bypass protocol (Multivitamin and Calcium PLUS)and this total protocol provides the necessary level of ADEK vitamins recommended for Duodenal Switch patients. )

I searched the board to make sure this question wasn't asked in the past couple of weeks and did not see it, so if it has I apologize if it appears repetitive.

I haven't heard of those, but most surgeons and nutritionists have "brand name" supplements that they offer to their patients, however a generic regimen will work just as well and possibly save you money.

Many if not all of the companies that sell only bariatric vits have specialized regimines by wls type.  I tried their samples.  They are no different from others out there.   Bariatric Advantage, Bariatric Choice nd Building Blocks have formulas by wls procedure as well. 

Doctors and nutritionists each have their preferences.  You'll figure out what you prefer over time. 

No need to apologize for being repetative.  These boards are repetative by nature.  Perhaps you'll get your answer today.
