B Vitamins

I am pre-op and shopping for my vitamins.  In addition to my multi vitamin I was told to take either a B complex or B50.  Everything I've tried makes me gag.  Was wondering what others use?

A B-50 is a B complex.

I don't take a B complex because the ASMBS says they are optional and my lab always show my B vitamins, including thiamine (B1), B6 and folate (B9) are good.

What brands have you tried that make you gag?

You were advised to take calcium citrate, iron and B12, too, right?

After surgery please check your levels often for potassium and ALL of the B vitamins. I became deficient in all of them and almost died. The B1(Thiamine) and potassium were the biggest ones. I spent almost a month in the hospital and nursing home, I ended up with optic nerve damage and it was pure hell. So please whatever you do, request to have these levels drawn monthly!

Thanks Pasunshine,  That's already part of my surgeon'routine,  pre-op and post-op he's pretty thorough.  What do you currently take?

B-Complex, B-12, Potassium, multi-vitamin, Biotin, are just the basics I take. 

I got a sublingual (under tongue) b from health food store, was light berry/ cherry flavor, dissolve in min or two, no problem.
