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.

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.

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.

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

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
