Why Do Gastric Bypass Patients Need Vitamins every day?
Vitamins and minerals supplements are critical before and after gastric bypass surgery.

Before Gastric Bypass Surgery
Many patients who decide to have gastric bypass surgery have tried numerous diet regimens and find themselves nutritionally deficit as they prepare for surgery. In fact, most lack in vitamins A, D, E and B as well as other major minerals. This deficit reduces the chances of post-surgical success. That is why experts recommend patients begin taking supplements one month prior to surgery, to help reduce the risk of surgical complications and speed recovery.

After Gastric Bypass Surgery
Your gastric bypass surgery significantly changes the path food takes through your body and your body’s ability to absorb nutrients from food. It’s important for gastric bypass patients to take long-term nutritional supplements because the surgery imposes profound vitamin and mineral deficiencies since:

• The amount of food you eat is drastically reduced and this automatically lessens your intake of vitamins and minerals.
• Surgery changes your stomach and intestines, where most nutrients are absorbed, causing many vitamins and minerals to pass through your system unabsorbed.
• Your metabolism must change to accommodate your modified digestive tract, which increases the demand for vitamins and minerals to regulate these changes.
• Cravings for specific foods are often reduced when adequate nutrient levels are maintained.
• Micronutrient deficiencies can persist for years after surgery depending on the kind of surgery performed and the patient’s overall health history.

VistaVitamins were developed to address all these specific needs. Unlike ‘off-the-shelf’ or children’s vitamins, VistaVitamins have the correct amount of nutrients you need, and in a form your body can easily absorb to use. To learn how our Wellness Plus capsules can help you, CLICK HERE.
