I think your vitamin intake is just fine. I am taking 800 mcg a day of the

folic acid. thre rest is pretty much the same.

THis is definitely a question to ask your surgeon and ob. Apprise them of

ALL the vitamins you are taking and ask them how much malabsorption you have

and if this is too much.

Hello,

I am not sure how far you are out of your surgery, but your OBGYN

should do your prenatal blood work, from there they are able to see

how everything looks and what you are lacking, etc. I am three years

POST OP, and I am 6 Months Prego, and I take a perscription pre-natal

called " Duet " they did find out that I was anemic so therefore I take

an added Iron (slow-release FE) with my pre-natal. Hope this helps!
