Hello, I am new here. After surgery there were a lot of complications. Long stays in and out of hospital. It was very bad for 2 years. I then developed Celiac disease which took 5 years to diagnose. My issues to date is malabsorption, which has caused all kinds of problems. I am looking for advice on the best vitamins and supplements etc that will help me build back some health. thank in advance. Any advice would be much appreciated. boo62

I use this one, but I’m only a year out. All my bloodwork has come back good. It’s gluten and lactose free.

Welcome to the group! Sorry you've been having malabsorption issues. The only one I have used is by Celebrate Vitamins for bariatric patients. I seem to do well on them so while I thought I would switch to something less expensive after 1 year out, I've decide to stick with them.
Thanks for your advice, I see a new doctor this Friday. We will discuss this.

I just want to stress what you already know. This series of events MUST be handled by inspectors who have no connection to the original events.
I hope fresh eyes are looking at this objectively. Best of luck.

you need more advice than we can give you. you need to go to urgent care if you feel bloated, and see your doctor for an in-depth follow-up immediately.
take care of the weight gain and the bloat and i'll be more than happy to share my supplement advice.
I'm going to use you right now as a symbol of what people should NOT do after surgery. you've gone more than a year without any significant or deep communication of your symptoms. no doctor would let you do this so either you have a quack or you dropped the ball.
your life depends on taking a holistic approach to this surgery and diet. I don't mean to sound like i'm picking on you but in the very few words you typed, i was horrified.
fyi, surgery doesn't cure an eating disorder which can be physical and mental. sounds to me like you're not in touch with your whole story and array of symptoms.
please keep us posted.
Before I even had surgery my dr talked about how the absorption of medicines and food will change because of the surgery. The small bites and chewing to help your body adjust for starters. Medicines with slow release over time were not encouraged. The recommendation was chewable for best results. But not gummies. Too sugary. This is really what you and your new dr need to establish in the beginning. May you find success and positive results.
