I gotta question too. I take prenatals now.. I am gonna start TTC soon... Do I double up or do you take folic seperate? That question is for while TTC and also after you get pregnant?

Also do you take double on any of your vitamins?

I would continue to take a pre-natal vitamin and possibly an extra 1mg or two of folic acid in preperation for getting pregnant. Hopefully, when you do get pg you've got an OB who knows a little something about WLS and our special needs ...

My OB is WLS stoopid!

I wouldn't just automatically double up on anything. And be weary of the Vitamin A's - they can be toxic to baby!
