I am going to have bariatric surgery and will have to take vitamins for the rest of my life. any info on free vits, suggestions?

Vitamins: Free vits? Not that i know of. That is one thing that patients must be aware of prior to having surgery. You must be able to afford multivitamins, b12, calcium with vitamin d forever after surgery. I am not aware if any place you can get these for free.

Not free: But there may be the option of having a compounding pharmacy make you multivitamin and bill through insurance. Check your area for a compound pharmacy and give them a call. Not all do this.
