Because of the restriction of food or the malabsorption of calories that some bariatric surgeries cause, you will have to follow a structured daily vitamin regimen. This regimen ensures that your vitamin and mineral levels do not fall below the minimum safe threshold. As part of our commitment to your health, we offer the following vitamin and nutritional supplements through our own website. Should you need guidance on supplementation, please contact our office.
We are unable to process orders online at this time. If you would like to place an order, please contact our office directly.
