I've been told that I will be on pre-natal vitamins for the rest of my life. From reading the posts/web-sites, this does not seem like a common occurance.  Should I be exploring other options?? I don't want to do any "damage"

Prenatal vitamins may not be the best choice. They are typically lower in Calcium & not always very high in iron. Prenatals are made for pregnancy. There are some great bariatric vitamins on the market that are better suited for your needs.  If cost is an issue, shop around. My personal bias is the supplement more specifically to the nutrients that are particularly difficult to absorb after WLS. regards, Danielle Halewijn RD eNutritioncare.com
