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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
