I was told to take Vitamin E capsules one month after surgery by a liver specialist!

I take B-12 sub tabs, Vitamin E and C, B-50 capsules, a multi-vitamin with minerals, potassium ( I always had a potassium deficiency), and a calcium citrate when I can remember to take it!!!! On some weeks during the month I take an iron pill with vitamin C together upon waking up in the morning. I noticed that the iron and c mixture help maintain a higher energy level for me before and during menstruation. I don't take potassium or Iron every single day because the iron locks my bowel movements. Plus I don't have a deficiency anymore so I don't have to. I only take the Iron and C together because around that time of month I am extremely tired if I don't take them. My question is I noticed that other WLS patients have higher liver enzymes and some take vitamin E capsules. I also noticed that some patients recommended the dry vitamin E instead of the oil capsules! Why is that? I have been taking Vitamin E in oil capsules for 5 months now and my surgery date was 03/04/02. What harm will the vitamin E capsules do? What is the difference in the dry and the Oil? I did not have any problems taking the oil capsules, as a matter of fact my skin, nails and hair is in better condition since taking them!!!!!!!!! When my liver enzymes were extremely high the liver specialist told me to invest in vitamin E and I purchased a 8 month supply so that I would not run out of them. Since taking the Vitamin E my liver enzymes have decreased and my skin has improved tremendously!! So give me the 411 on the Vitamin E descrepancy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am satisfied with the Oil capsules but if the dry e pills are better, maybe I will try them when I run out of the capsules!!!!I have lost 90 pounds so far and I feel much better!!!!!!HELP ME OUT GUYS-WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST? DO ANY OF YOU GUYS TAKE VITAMIN E CAPSULES? WHERE THE PATIENTS WITH HIGH LIVER ENZYMES EVER TOLD TO TAKE VITAMIN E LIKE I WAS TOLD TO TAKE? GOOD LUCK AND THANKS TO YOU ALL FOR RESPONDING!
