Guest guest Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 All normal RNY surgeries require us to take calcium, B12 and multivitamins for the rest of our lives or risk serious medical problems. Other surgeries like DS and band type surgeries have different requirements. D. > I have been reading some previous posts regarding B-12. I'm a little confused. Some say we have to have it and others say if we have had the open RNY, it won't do us any good. > Any accurate info would be appreciated. I'm trying to get everything together that I'm going to need after surgery. > > > Garland, TX > Dr. /July 28th > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
