According to my clinic's plan, they are not quite all we need.  They are great if you are, or want to become pregnant without having WLS, but not complete enough for us.  Just MHO.

Depends on which prenatal vitamins.  They are not all the same.  Anyone can slap the label "prenatal" on any vitamin they want, just like anyone can slap the label "bariatric" on any vitamin, regardless of whether it really meets the needs of bariatric patients or not.

The ASMBS says we need a multi with 100% of the RDA of most things in it, including minerals like copper, zinc, and selenium.  If a prenatal has that, then it's a good choice for us.
