Answer
Hi there!

Have you had the rny?

With vitamins, bariatric vitamins are not absolutely necessary as long as you take 2 regular women's multivitamins and supplement the essentials like b12, iron, calcium + vitamin d with them.  Be sure at a year out, to get a bone mass density test done (you cannot check calcium through bloodwork) and to make sure that you get your thiamine levels checked as well.

If you absolutely want to get bariatric vitamins, then you more than likely will need to order them from the USA, from a site such as bariatricfusion or bariatric advantage.  Just watch for the method of shipping - avoid anyone who ships through UPS as you will have a huge "brokerage" fee thrown on top of any duty when it arrives at your door.

Good luck!
