Guest guest Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 We use Super B Complex for both lap band and Sleeve Gastrectomy patients.From: Tammy <cflyrod1@...> Sent: Wed, March 30, 2011 4:20:21 PMSubject: lap band vitamins I am curious as to what type of B vitamin supplemention you do for lap bands. We have been using a B-complex but dr wants to change to just b-12. I thought specific B-12 supplementation was for bypass patients. Input would be appreciated. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I do not recommend a separate b-12. There is not a need as IF absorption sites are not altered. I recommend 1 b-complex. The paper that came out in SOARD in 2008 has the same recommendations.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 We don't supplement B vitamins for lap-band patients unless an issue shows up in their post-op labs.
