Patch vitamins - has anyone gotten approval from their Surgeon?

I see some people talk about this patch vitamin. I wonder if anyone Dr has approved or recommended them.

    I'm wondering the same

  • I have used them since I was a little shy of one month post-op. I have had bloodwork once since and everything was fine except my Vitamin D (which was low in my pre-op bloodwork) . I will post once

  • No objections at all.

They are interesting IF they work. My Dr sells a vitamin that he of course says is required, that it has everything needed, but I have to take 3 of them a day. I know he will NEVER recommend another vitamin so I am curious if anyone else's Dr has. I would love to stop his vitamin because I believe they are causing me a lot of nausea and diarrhea. But I don't want to go against him either as I do trust me.

I have used them since I was a little shy of one month post-op. I have had bloodwork once since and everything was fine except my Vitamin D (which was low in my pre-op bloodwork) . I will post once I have my December labs done (they will be the true test)

I take vitamin d, omeprazole, biotin & fish oil all orally. I use the Calcium with Vit D patch as well as B12 & a multi.

Thanks! Please keep me posted. Did your surgeon object to them at all?
