Labs are back ... PatchMD seems to be working



Recommended Posts

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.

I do not take any additional calcium but I do take iron, Biotin, fish oil with Omega 3 & Vitamin D orally. My Vitamin D & iron were both low prior to surgery. I have my labs done again in December so I think that will be the true test.

I just bought the multi and the B 12 today. Had never even heard of them until this post. They're kinda pricey - $40 for 1 month supply of both plus tax and shipping but for now ( 8 days out of surgery) it beats gagging on chewables!

Thanks!

They always offer 40% off by using the coupon code PMD40 ... Next order you will get 40% off ????

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
