Last night I went to my WLS monthly meeting, and the subject was supplements and why we need them, after Bariatric Surgery.
New guide lines from last December, states even Band patients need B12 and supplements, as well has Bypass and Sleeve.
The small amount of food are bodies take in, can not give you all the vitamins you need.
Which resulting in vitamin and mineral deficiencies can have serious medical implications.
Best vitamins are from your Doctor, but if you buy the over the counter ones like over 50 A Z etc you must take two every day, with the Doctors you only need the one tablet.
Reason why they are stressing you take these everyday.
A lady in the Leeds Bariatric: Two months ago she died, because her zinc levels were really down.
Even though her team Kemp on telling her she needed to take them everyday, she thought she was doing right not to take them everyday.
This nearly resulted in the Leeds hospital Bariatric part closing down, but they have stayed open but now make it a lot harder to get your operation.
So we must take good quality vitamins, and make sure we have our B12 every 3months.
