Labs are back ... PatchMD seems to be working

I promised to post and let the other PatchMD vitamin patch users know how my labs came out. They are right on themoney other than my Vitamin D being a little low. I see the Endocronologist on Friday and I'm sure she will advise me on what additional supplements I need to add to my daily routine. I am so glad they are getting the job done !!!

I purchased the Multivitamin patch last week and put on my first one this morning. So I am going to put them to the test.

Thanks for your update.

I'll stay away from cheap jokes like, "No memory loss that I remember..."

Good to know! I've been using the patch on most days for a month now. I go for my labs in mid November. It's so much easier to put on the sticker than chew up those awful Vitamins.

I've had a lot of hair loss, but no memory loss. Well, I don't attribute my poor memory to the surgery. I attribute it to 3 kids, full time job, and being over 30. :)

How far post op are you ? I'm 8 weeks and no hair loss yet. I just had my hair done last week and my stylist said it isn't growing as quickly, but no loss as of yet ????????

Almost five months ago. I started losing hair between 3&4 months.

I know it's coming and I'm dreading it ... My hair is thin as it is ... ????

I havent heard of the patches. Where do you get them and how much do they cost? Does insurance cover them? Do you need a prescription? Is it just for the multivitamin?

PATCHMD.com will explain it all. I also recommend doing your own research. For me, they are super convenient and one less thing I have to worry about.

I've ordered some to test, because I'm having the "all my chewable multis make me gag" experience this month.

If anyone else has been using them and has had labs done, I would be interested in hearing the results as I am considering these - especially when travelling.

If you use them, do you still take Calcium supplements on top of them, or just have the calcium that is in them?

What about Iron (since they mix calcium and iron in one patch)?

Has anyone's NUT said anything about them? I asked mine and she just said 'Try them and we'll check your labs' as only one other person at my surgeon's office has asked about them.

For now, I'm still stocked on Celebrate capsules for another couple of months and calcium chews for about 6, but might start using the Patches when I travel or when I run out of the other if they prove convenient and reliable...I just really wonder especially about the calcium since it's hard to tell a deficiency until it's too late since your body will just pull from your bones.
