Vitamins are our friend gentlemen
As a VSGer, vitamins and supplements a little easier for us than for the some other types of WLS. Because VSG involves only the stomach and not the intestinal tract, we digest food normally, albeit in smaller volume.
I just had my 18 month follow-up labs after having a week long kidney stone episode (thanks everyone for your comments on that!) All is very well and I've been told not to take any supplements including calcium or B13 but can take a multi-vitamin and protein supplements when I need to, particularly when I am regularly working out.
Those of you who have had the DS or Roux-en-Y please pay attention to your vitamin needs. It's a pain I know. I feel like Ive been set free having only to take a single vitamin but If I had to I would gladly take more to keep the weight off!
