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.

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.

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

      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!!

      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?
