Help confused with the vitamins?
I thought I had it but now I am confused.
Im having the RNY-- I understand that B12 will need to be taken sublingualy or by shot because of not being absorbed in the intestine.
--But now I found out also that
A E and K
Are we suppose to get shots for those??? I there a right way to take these?
Thanks

Vitamins A, D, E, K are all fat soluble vitamins and are more difficult to aborb after being bypassed. Some RNY'ers need to take additional individual fat soluble vitamins, but not everyone needs it. We don't do shots for those vitamins... but "dry" formulas work best for us. Dry simply means pills that are made of a powder instead of an oil based soltion in a gel cap. But the addition of these are only determined after you have your labs done to see if it's needed after surgery.
