Patch vitamins - has anyone gotten approval from their Surgeon?



Recommended Posts

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

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?

No objections at all.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
