I take:

Calcium w. D3 - 2 tabs, twice a day, away from caffeine

B12 - sublingual 1 tab every other day

Iron supplement

Zinc Citrate

Magnesium Citrate - as needed - I get bad leg cramps at night

Multi Vitamin - 1 tab every morning

Can you reach out to Humber River to find out what labs your doctor should be ordering - the list is pretty extensive. They should be done annually.

Great choice. I'm using some vitamins, but I prefer to get them from food. When I was young, I ate a lot of fi****'s an A, D, E vitamins, But now it's so hard to find a good one. Our oceans and rivers are hurt because of climate change and oil spills. I studied at the ecology faculty and had read many books and additional info on this theme. And I hope people will understand the necessity of protecting our hydrosphere.

Calcium Citrate 500mg x 3 per day

MVI x 2 per day

B12 every 2 days ( depends on your level)

iron ( depends on level)

all others depend on your levels

ask your GP to check your levels - iron, folate, ferritin, calcium, magnesium, vit A etc...

Topic: RE: Plastic surgeon

Sorry but don't come here very often. I have used Dr. Nandagopal for all my plastics. He doesn't work with OHIP but prices have been stable for years. There is also a FB page for Ontario plastic surgery group. PM me if you want if you cannot find it.

Christa, Please look below my post to see info someone else has posted.. Hang in there. I had surgery that as an open surgery more than 25 years ago.. I have been close to goal for 23 years...( a couple of stressful times produced a gain, hen stress was relieved eight came down.. Now the surgeries are not as hard, they do require one jump through hoops- go thru a process to get . start counseling for depression now, and also do a diet diary.. You Must know where you are beginning.This is the first step.. begin to make changes one item at a time.You are worth the efforts that become the journey!

There are certain criteria you have to meet to qualify for bariatric surgery in Ontario. This procedure is covered by OHIP but the supplements you will need post op are not covered by insurance as the are typically over the counter.

Your doctor will need to make a referral the Bariatric Centre in your area and they will invite you to an information session.

They do ask for your history of dieting and weightloss efforts and there are many appointments before you actually get referred to a hospital for consideration for the surgery.

Good luck.

Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
