Please continue to research and post! See if you can find articles ref vitamins and minerals, and protein for post-WLS patients specifically too. Thanks PC! --G

I'll keep an eye out, but as you know post-WLS articles worth anything are few and far between. You find a lot saying X, Y, Z is common due to malabsorption, but never any specific recommendations about what to do about it. But I'll post em if I find em

Bekah, It is sooo unfortunate for your patient. Wow, she obviously didn't understand that vitamins are an imperative and not an option. I feel bad for her. It is also unfortunate that we sometimes need to hear these kinds of stories and the one that Cyndi told us as reminders of how important it is and to be reminded that we signed up for lifetime commitments. Thanks for sharing the story. I hope and pray that your patient is able to make a full recovery.
