What are bariatric vitamins?
Bariatric surgery helps people consume less food.

When do you start taking vitamins after bariatric surgery?
Your doctor will likely recommend taking an easy to digest chewable or liquid bariatric vitamin immediately after surgery. About a month post-op, your doctor may recommend switching to a tablet if they're well-tolerated or that is the form of supplement you prefer.
What happens if you don't take vitamins after bariatric surgery?
If you body isn't absorbing an appropriate amount of essential vitamins and minerals, you may experience a variety of side effects. Lack of iron or B12 can lead to anemia. Memory loss, irritability, and other neurological complications can result from B12 deficiency. Changes in calcium and vitamin D availability can cause bone and kidney disease. That's why it's so important to make sure you're meeting your body's nutritional needs with a bariatric vitamin and follow your doctors recommendations.
