WLS YouTubers
He's not interested in his patients, he simply wants to be famous for being a surgeon! He's narcissistic and greedy. He's no longer employed as a dr anywhere due to ethical, medical and legal issues! He no longer does MLM products. Looks like nobody wants him. Right now he's motivational speaker/influencer on YouTube in order to make some money. SUUM CUIQUE (latin for "to each his own")

Does anyone take Echinacea post op?
Many studies have been done on echinacea’s effect on the common cold. So far, researchers have not found conclusive evidence on its effectiveness. They don’t believe that taking it after you come down with a cold will shorten the time you are sick. Taking it when you are well may slightly reduce your chances of catching a cold.

Vitamin Patches
I used PatchMD multivitamin patches for 3 weeks after surgery to avoid swallowing huge pills. I bought these patches from BariatricPal store.Then i tried chewables, their taste was horrible to me so i switched to ProCare bariatric multivitamins with iron (pills).
