Hello again.

Im seeking advice on supplements required after a total gastrectomy. 

The dietician at the Royal Marsden has told me that over the counter multivitamins, like Centrum are all that is needed and advised bariatric supplements are not required.  

However, after further research I've found that this seems to be completely wrong with advice from US and UK NHS Trusts and Cancer Specialist Health services being bariatric multivitamins with or without iron are necessary for people post TG, plus Calcium Citrate in addition. 

Can anyone offer any advice from their own experience please?

What do you take, how much and how often and where do you purchase them from?

Any information would be gratefully received x
