I'm glad you asked that question. I searched through my flex spending paperwork and found this

Bariatric surgery patients vitamins and supplements are eligible with a letter of medical necessity stating that they are required due to bariatric surgery.

Can I ask what vitamins you are getting? I can't find one that doesn't make me feel sick to my tummy
