Low cost vitamin recommendations
I am in the process of getting my Lapband taken out and RNY done due to severe reflux since I got the band. My surgery date is 12/18-- Hurray!!
I am in need of some suggestions on recommendations for vitamins taking price into consideration.
My Dr office recommends Bariatric Advantage which is great! I have used some of the vitamins before however I put my order together for everything I need and it was around $200 for 3 month supply.
I am buying a new home and am trying to save $$.
Any input is GREATLY appreciated!!

The larger quantities of the Bariatric Advantage bottles you buy at a time, the cheaper you are.
What vitamins are they suggesting that you purchase? We were taking with my original RNY
Multi
Iron
Calcium
B-12
I buy my calcium citrate from Sam's Club, it is far cheaper. They are not chewable, but you should be able to handle them after a month or more out.

This is what I take:
Bariatric Advantage Multivitamin(3 month supply)
Bariatric Advantage Iron 29 MG (3 month supply)
Sublingual B-12 (you can find at Walgreens or CVS)
UpCal D calcium citrate. This comes in powder form in these little single serving packets.Each packet has 500 MG of calcium citrate plus D3. I mix it into my sugar free pudding.
So the total cost is really not that much..maybe $25.00 a month

I went from lap band to RNY on Aug 1 2008.
