At 3 months I will start taking a mult vitamin with Iron and then at 6 months Calcium. Vitamin B-12 shots every 6 weeks....until 6 months when I can start taking a B-12 vitamin. I do not and have never been told to take an antacid. However, ever doctor is different and they all have different advise. I started with the chewable weeks before my surgery...Centrum makes an adult chewable (I think they are the only ones)....if you take children's you will need to take 2 - adult only 1. Hope this helps. <!--more--> Sharon Jacksonville, FL = Open RNY 05/13/02 = Dr. Eric Thoburn Gainesville, Fl 5'9" 310/273 - 37 lbs in 6 weeks Hi Shannon,
