 DFW, TX Member Since: 02/19/05 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 1/30/12 9:10 am I'm not sure on that one. I guess it depends on why you take two MV's. I only took one prenantal and later I had to have it with iron. I'm a band patient too though so I know all my rules are a little different. My advise is: call your OB and your WLS surgeon and see what they say. Sorry I'm not more help. Regardless though- Congrats!!!

 Garden City, MI Member Since: 01/12/09 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 1/30/12 10:05 am I ended up taking 2 flintstone gummies twice a day in place of my 2 multivitamins. I could not stomach the prenatals. So it really depends on what your OB/surgeon recommends. I also recommend keeping your other vitamins too. Iron is almost always a necessity for all RNY patients and it is highly recommended to take that during pregnancy. I use the Bariatric Advantage chewables.

 San Jose, CA Member Since: 08/06/09 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 1/30/12 10:27 am My vite regimin before pg: 4 gummie vites/day 1 B12/wk 1 Vite D3/day 1 iron w/C /day My vite regimin TTC & during PG: 4 gummie vites/day 1 prenatal/day 1 5mg Folic (very high dosage) 1 D3/day 1 iron w/C /day I get enough B12 in my prenatal & folic. My vite levels at all checks have been excellent. But you need to check with your Bari surgeon and OB. Every body is different - especially with RNY and malabsorption.

 Woodbridge, VA Other (03/27/09) Member Since: 07/08/08[Latest Posts] | Post Date: 1/30/12 12:08 pm I never switched to prenatals - just continued taking my good multi twice per day. The only thing I changed when I found out I was pregnant is that I added a DHA supplement twice daily and stopped supplementing extra vitamin A. That said, it also depends on what multi you're taking. I didn't switch because the multi I was normally already taking had more folate than the prenatal I compared it to, and I already take iron and calcium separately, so there was no need to switch to a prenatal. *Jill*...not quite a DS, not just a VSG - stuck somewhere in my own little hybrid world... www.dsfacts.com Check out my profile for info on WLS for Type 2 Diabetes.

 Tallahassee, FL Member Since: 09/29/08 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/1/12 9:52 am My vitamins pretty much stayed the same I just switched one of the multi's to a good prenatal, one that's comparable to the multi as some of them have less than the multi I take. I added DHA and extra folic acid (I'm required to take a lot because of a blood issue). Talk to your Dr. as every Dr. is different in what they suggest! Congrats on the pregnancy!!
