More prepare-ed-ness
I went to see the dieticien and I told her Im building my "Bible" of RNY information. Have bought ALL my vitamins and received my 14 different sample packets from Syntrax Nectar in the mail. Oh and bought 2 Isopure RTD 20 oz bottles. She felt I was very prepared and would clear me for surgery. She also said they "only require a multivitamin and Calcium with D". WOW! What about the Iron Carbonyl, Vitamin C, D3, Biotin and B12 [sublingual]??

Waiting to see what deficiencies you develop before starting the proper vitamins just seems strange to me. I would rather prevent deficiencies when possible, rather than wait for them to develop and then try to correct them.

I guess their patients all end up with vitamin D and B12 and iron deficiencies. Maybe if some of them take a multi with iron they might not end up iron deficient, but I bet most do. They will all be vitamin D and B12 deficient. I'd bet you any amount of money on it.
