I heard a rumor that DrM/DrL were telling patients that the Flintstones complete is not a good choice post-WLS surgery. Just wanted to see if anybody was told this and the reason why? Thanks!

I went on Carolina Surgical website and found the preparing for your surgery manual and have enclosed the following link which indicates to use flintstone complete or centrum. http://carolinasurgical.com/uploads/file/WLS_RYGB_prep.pdf Hope this helps! Pam

Hey Jennifer. I haven't heard anything. But if you hear anything else, please let me know. That is what I have been taking since after my surgery in July.
