So, I'm getting sleeved on 12/29 and need to buy my Vitamins. My nutritionist recommended the Bariatric Advantage Multivitamin and Calcium chews, but my gut is telling to go with PatchMD. Has anyone had success with the Patches? How do the Bariatric Advantage multivitamin and calcium chews taste?

Thanks for all of your help.

Excited, but getting REALLY nervous.

I started on Bariatric Advantage chewables, then switched to Patch MD multivitamins plus after the first month. Eating 2 caramel calcium chews per day. My 3 month labs were all in the normal range. Vitamin D was on the low side of normal, but up from what it has been in the past. The folks at my clinic don't have a problem patients using them as they've seen good results, but did warn me to make sure the patches don't come off when the heat of summer rolls around.

Any updates for those using the patch?

So I've been using the patches pretty much since day one. My 1 month, 3 month and 6 month labs have all come back fine. My iron has always been low and that is even up to normal levels. I don't know how much is the patch helping and how much is from food/drink but it's working for me and the Dr. is happy with the results.

Thanks for the update. We've sold thousands of the patches and so far we've been only receiving positive feedback from patients and their surgeons.
