I take Bariatric Advantage found at rexall. I take it 2x/day. It's cheap too! Today I went in and bought a bottle paid under $10 even though the sign said 15.99.

I just switched over to the opurity due to not being able to swallow other multi and it says if you take this you don't need b12?

My center recommends Centrum 50+ chewables http://www.centrum.com/centrum-silver-chewables for the first few weeks post op (then to switch to Centrum Womens 50+), along with vitamin D drops, vitamin b12 and calcium citrate chewable.

When I went to my nutrition class at TWH, we were told that they were going to be changing the Centrum Women's 50+, so it will no longer have the recommended amount of iron (I think it was iron anyway).  She had us strike it off the list of recommended multivitamins.

Have you heard anything about this?

Yes it is true.  Centrum is no longer a recommended multi for us to take because of the lack of iron. :-)
