Essential Bariatric Vitamins and Supplements for Gastric Sleeve and Bypass Patients

Barimelts were created specifically for post-bariatric patients, not the general population. Unlike most store-bought vitamins, Barimelts uses bioavailable nutrient forms that your body can actually absorb, especially after surgery when digestion and absorption are altered. 

Our fast-dissolving tablets and smooth-coated caplets are gentle on sensitive stomachs and easier to take, even if you struggle with nausea or appetite loss. Learn more about how bariatric vitamins differ from standard multivitamins.

Yes! Barimelts are designed to support patients across all major bariatric procedures, including gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, duodenal switch, and lap band. We offer different formats and bundles to match your needs based on where you are in your journey, whether you’re newly post-op or years into maintenance.

You’ll typically begin taking bariatric vitamins as soon as your care team gives you the green light. This is often within a few days to a couple of weeks post-op. Nutrient deficiencies can start quickly after surgery, so it’s important to begin your routine ASAP. Our fast-dissolving melts are especially helpful during the early stages when swallowing pills may still be uncomfortable.

Staying consistent with your vitamins helps support the things that keep you feeling your best: energy, strength, digestion, and recovery. After surgery, your body can’t absorb nutrients the same way it used to, and that can lead to fatigue, muscle loss, or slowed progress. Barimelts helps fill in those nutritional gaps with forms your body can actually use, so you can stay on track without second-guessing your routine.

Yes. Over time, skipping your vitamins can lead to serious nutrient deficiencies that may impact your bone health, immune function, energy levels, and even neurological health. After bariatric surgery, your body requires lifelong vitamin support due to reduced absorption. That’s why Barimelts was created — to make daily vitamins easier to take, easier to absorb, and easier to stick with long term.
