Why so many?   *Jill*...not quite a DS, not just a VSG - stuck somewhere in my own little hybrid world...  Just because you can get it on doesn't mean it really FITS...        www.dsfacts.com Check out my profile for info on WLS for Type 2 Diabetes.

Post Date: 7/9/10 10:32 am Last Edit: 7/9/10 10:33 am Swanson Health Products.  Products often work out as a better deal than even the Puritan's Buy 2 Get 1 or what every they are running.  You will probably find the product in the same milligrams for single ingredient items.  Stuff like multi's or combination items may be close, but not identical because that particular blend would be exclusive to the company.   They have better customer service too.

vitalady Puyallup, WA S. Ross Fox M.D. RNY Member Since: 11/09/98 [Latest Posts]	Post Date: 7/9/10 11:01 am OK, but in addition to this, you'll need: protein multi iron (not ferrous) calcium citrate C D3 E A K1 B12 sublingual zinc copper B complex? If his is in oil, if any are in oil, they don't count. Otherwise, it's a lot of money for things that you do not NEED, but would be nice to have.   Michelle RNY, distal, 10/5/94

I will be having a vsg sometime in the next month or two. At one time I saw your chart for recommended supplementation for this procedure. I cannot find it on your site. Could you or someone please provide a link for me? Thank you. Also, can VSG people take oil gel caps?

Post Date: 7/9/10 11:10 am Dr. Weil does "custom vitamin packets" like this: https://www.drweilvitaminadvisor.com/?aid=333316&aparam=gateway The vitamins, herbs etc are combined & packaged based on one's "needs" and to avoid taking 20 pills per day.  I am completely in synch w/ Dr Weil in his blend of allopathic and integrative/alternative medicine, however I remember his very first book wherein he said "don't spend a lot of money on vitamins!!  They're all essentially the same."  Profits go to the Weil Foundation, a not-for-profit organization "dedicated to supporting integrative medicine through training, education and research."  But do I hafta fund that?  Is there a way to use my FSA car for vitamins, wherever I buy them?     SW235 / CW230 / GW145

Post Date: 7/9/10 12:14 pm You probably don't need all of those herbal supplements, and they may interefere with any script meds yoyu may currently take.  I take a liquid vitamin that's $29, dry D3 and calcium citrate from vitalady.com at under $50 a month, clucosimine and condroitin (for joint issue) and a vitmin K supplement from Puritan Pride at a few bucks a month.  This is less than $100 a month. I take the extra D3 as I had D issues, and I'd recommend that everyone take a specific dry D3 daily.   Take a good vitamin (twice RDA levvels). a sub lingual B12, dry D3 and calcium citatrate plus daily plus any srcript items you take daily. Depending on lab work, you may need extra iron, change your D3 or B12 levels, etc. depending on lab results.  DAVER  Dave Chambers, 6'3" tall, 345 before RNY, 185 currently.
