I was getting nauseous with the regular Multivitamins so my doctor suggested PatchMD.

Coupon code Holidays2015 gets you 40% off. Don't know when it expires.

I ordered a 12 month supply. FYI The Vitamins expire in 2018.

Tell me how they work...

I started them today so I'll keep you guys updated.

I started to use them, and liked them. My bariatric place said there is no proof of how much is really absorbed, so they do not recommend them., and actually discourage using them. I went back to swallowing pills all day, but much rather use the patch, but they scared me into stopping them. The gentleman that actually started them came to speak at our support group in Orange county, Ca, and it is true he did not have anything in writing that suggests the amount you actually absorb. I have seen other people on this forum state they use them and there labs have been great. I am only 4 1/2 months so maybe in a few more months there will be something stating the actual absorption, and I will go back to them.

Thanks for sharing sbg. The only way to know if they are working is as you stated "lab results". I'll go for blood work at 6mo and check.

So far no side effects what so ever.

They have been a godsend to me. No matter what chewables or melt I used I would gag. I go for blood work next month I'll keep u posted if I was lacking any vitamin

I just ordered a years supply as well so I certainly do hope they are absorbed. I absolutely can't tolerate those bariatric vitamins and swallowing any pills just freaks me out after surgery. I'm three months out but I just don't like it.

Those patches are pricey even with the discount so I definitely hope they work. Especially since I'm in California and have to pay tax on them and shipping!

Update:

Just got my blood work back and the only thing that was a little low was Vitamin D. It was also low prior to surgery. Dr says I need more sun. Cholesterol 204 and LDL 143, everything else was great. So the Vitamin patch works great.

Just got my blood work results back also and everything is normal ! Love my vitamin patch !!!

Do you take any additional Vitamins or are you only using the Patches?
