Yes this is a great vitamin. My Dr. recommends it highly. I have been taking them for over a year and my blood work always comes back great. You just chew 4 a day and you don't have to buy any other vitamins. (they are good too)

Question: How does it taste? I'm not liking the vitamins that came with the pre-op kit. Hey, CONGRATULATIONS! I'm sure you're excited!

I had an RNY in December 2007 and I think this new vitamin would make my current regimen of vitamins much easier to deal with. I'm a Registered Pharmacist and the amounts in this vitamin look good. The only thing I'm concerned about is Vit B12. If you had an RNY, you can only absorb Vit B12 properly via the sublingual route or through a monthly intramsucular injection. Thx for letting us know about this new product!
