I had it ( one year ago today actually ) I take vitamins but not prescription strength. The ones I take are otc Centrum chewables, twice a day. I also don't suffer from diarrhea "forever", in fact some days I must take Miralax for help.
Yes the surgery is more complex, but with a good, qualified surgeon (do your research), it works wonders. I have lost 122 lbs. and went from a size 26 to a size 12. I feel wonderful and love life again.
