One last Vitamin question
"can only swallow 1 to 2 pills per hr per the doc "
I have never heard that before.
I was told I could swallow anything smaller than an M&M immediately pre-op and anything bigger would have to be broken up or to use chewables or liquid until I was cleared for solids. That's pretty typical advice.

Well after looking everything over some more at Vitaladys Site I see the starter pack is mostly sublinguals and Chewables :-) so that takes some worry out of everything.
The sublinguals, do you let those dissolve under the tongue?
Also how to you join her sight? I see a log in but no register, does that come with your first order?
And last but not least if I order this starter pack is it best to just start taking all of it now since surgery is Sept 16th and then as the labs come in after surgery lower whats high and increase whats low?

I think all you do the first time is place the order and create an account when you go through the checkout process. The chewables might be a good idea for the first 30 days and I would start now or as soon as you get them. It take about 2 weeks for my orders to arrive but I'm on the east coast. You should have some stores build up so don't panic if you can get everything in your first month.

I wouldn't expect the order to arrive before you have your surgery... I think they put it on the slow boat to Michigan....

Well if it takes 2 weeks thats not a problem. All my vitamin levels are up right now to middle or above so im good there.
The Drs office said to stop everything from supplements, herbs and vitamins to just taking Celebrate Multivitamin and Iron plus C for this last 2 weeks before surgery.
Then they want me to wait I believe it was 1 week after surgery before starting vitamins again so this way it should be here by then.
Of all things this has been my biggest hurdle cause im so use to all supplement stores trying to sell you anything and everything under the sun. But the more I look at what VL has for DS patients its really not as much as it looks and the being able to fine tune what you need or don't need makes sense verses the all in one Multi ADEK etc,
So I will place my order after I post this and AGAIN thank you everyone here for all your input, advice, and everything else!!!!!!
