Multivitamins needed after DS surgery and cost
Surely your surgeon's staff can provide you with another information packet!
At a minimum you will need D, A, K, a multi, iron, calcium citrate, and possibly zinc, possibly copper. The good news is that you really don't need to worry about choking down a bunch of pills right away as your body has stores to get you through the first couple tough weeks of recovery. After that, you will need to follow your labs and adjust your vitamins to keep your levels in the normal range. Each person seems to need different amounts of different vitamins. Even with your information packet, some surgeons provide good information and others, not so good, so you need to become your own advocate and follow your labs yourself.
I will send you a pm with more info.

What Larra said, and adding not to bother with bariatric vitamins. Centrum or equivalent will do fine. Take a double dose. 2000 mg of calcium citrate, 50,000 iu of dry 3D and 25,000iu of dry A. 1000 iu of dry K. You can find these dosages on Amazon without a prescription.
