Bariatric vitamins purchased by Canadians
There are so few posts on the Ontario group I thought I would post here.
I'm almost 9 years post op RNY and deficient in pretty much everything. The vitamin schedule the hospital had given me does nothing to increase or maintain my levels. I feel absolutely horrible these days. I've seen a variety of doctors and waiting to see a hematologist to start the ball rolling on a few different infusions. I'm looking to find out where any Canadians are purchasing bariatric vitamins as doubling up on non-bariatric ones are clearly not working. I have picked up the odd item from Shoppers Drug Mart at Toronto Western Hospital and am wondering if there are other places you all use online? How have you found shipping and duty fees?
Thanks!

Also in Ontario - interested to hear what anyone has to say.
i haven't had any post op blood work yet (not till 6 months post op..) but I'm currently taking;
kirkland prenatal vitamin (13.99 for 300)
2000iui vitamin d
500mg vitamin b12 (sublingual)
1 b50 complex vitamin (once weekly)
other then the Costco Prenatal the rest are just from the pharmacy. Dietitian recommended I start taking a omega 3 supplement too as I don't really like or eat fish. Waiting for those to come in.. (I like www.well.ca for my vitamins lol)
