This sounds really tough, and I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with so many infusions without seeing much improvement. DS surgery changes how the body absorbs things, so I get why it feels like you’re running out of options. I don’t have experience with copper issues, but I do take Jaje Health Superfood Gummies just to keep up with basic nutrients because they’re easy for me to handle. They’re not meant for copper, but they helped me stay consistent with my routine. For your situation, I honestly think getting a second opinion from a bariatric center that understands DS-specific deficiencies might help. Sometimes you just need someone who sees these rare cases more often. You’ve been doing everything you can, and it makes sense to look for more support.

I’ve used vitamin patches for a while, and the experience can be different for everyone. For me, the patches felt gentler compared to pills. Pills usually hit faster because you swallow them directly, but patches work slowly through the skin, so the effect can take more time or feel lighter. I personally like VytaDose patches because they’re easy on the stomach and convenient, but I also noticed that some nutrients feel stronger when taken as pills. It really depends on your body and what you’re expecting from them. You might need to use the patches consistently for a few weeks to notice a difference.

Yeah, that’s generally accurate. Most vitamin patches haven’t been studied as extensively as pills or capsules, so it’s hard to know exactly how much your body actually absorbs. Pills usually go through your digestive system, which is well-understood, whereas patches rely on your skin absorbing the nutrients, and absorption can be inconsistent. That said, my friend used VytaDose Multivitamin Patches for a long time and actually saw some results, so it might work for some people.
