Are there vitamins and minerals I will need to take after surgery?
Dr. Thomas recommends a children’s chewable multi-vitamin with minerals taken twice a day for the rest of your life. If you have a Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, in addition to the chewable vitamin, you may need supplemental calcium and vitamin B-12. Dr. Thomas and your family physician will be checking your blood to define if and when you may need these supplements which is why it is important to follow up with them on a regular basis.
