B12 patch?

Has anyone tried the B12 patch instead of the sublingual? I found them as an option on Amazon, but unsure if it supplies enough for post op nutrition.

Apparently it's something you put either on your wrist or behind your ear for 24hrs once a week. This is what I read in the description on Amazon.

I went ahead and ordered a box of the patches, which is supposed to last a month... yes you put a patch on for 24 hrs then you are good for a week, but because of the requires nutrition post op.... they are not the best choice. Each pach has 1000 mcg of b12. The info I was given by my nut said that we need 1000 mcg every other day.
