Hi there. I'm 4 weeks out. I have been dreading having to take my chewable vitamins. 3 of those Calcium chews per day are nasty. Are there any gummy type or chocolate chews to substitute the calcium vitamins? Are you guys crushing them and then swallowing the powder? Are you guys chewing the whole thing? ALSO, MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHAT VITAMIN SHOULD I TAKE TO PREVENT HAIR LOSS??? WHAT'S IT CALLED? Any replies would help! Thanks guys, keep rocking that sleeve.

Hello sleeve friends. My name is linda and I'm 28. My surgery will be on the 21st of may. I had a couple of questions. What type of stitches/staples do they use? Do they dissolve on their own? Also, how do they suture or staple the stomach? Will I have staples in my stomach forever? How do they remove the drain tube? Do you feel it?
