Mini gastric bypass

[Gladys Friday]

When you have a mini bypass are there any tablets etc that you must take after the op and on a long term basis?

Thanks

I think it's the same as a full bypass, but don't quote me. So it should be a multi vitamin, possibly B12 and anything else your bloods throw up your deficient in

I've had a MGBP 13 days ago, straight after surgery you take a anti acid pill for 35 days,
Then after six weeks, you start your Multi vitamins, vitamin d, and another pill, can't remember off hand,
You take these for life

I have just had a bypass and have been told that I will be on multi vitamins for life too

I've just had a mini bypass and I'm on lanzaprasole(for acid, sorry if it's spelt wrong!) 2 tablets for prevention of gall stones - these medicines are for 3 months. I'm on multi vitamins for life and 3 monthly b12 injections. Also have to get regular bloods done so maybe iron x
