Hi all! If you use multivitamin patches, do you wear them at night or during the day? I just received mine and nowhere does it state which is better day/night. I have to wear for 8-9 hours. Doesn't make a difference to me just wondering if there is a difference for absorption, etc. TIA

I wore the multi in the day and the calcium/D at night but I don't think it makes a difference

I just started patches this week. I put mine on in morning and look forward to getting solid blood test in a couple months.

Sure is nice not taking all the pills they required.

This sounds like a GREAT option, easier to manage than the pills & food combination especially for those of us starting out. My VSG is Monday. I do have all the Vitamins but will be off work 5 weeks so when I go back to work the patch seems to be an easier option.

I put mine on in the morning too. I just started about a week ago, so hopefully they'll give me good results!

I put mine on during the day so as I am getting dressed in the morning. I love them. I tried to wear them at night but Im a restless sleeper and off they came.

I am sad to say that they do NOT stay on. I've tried different spots and if I forget to put them on with surgical tape or a band aid...they do fall off. The adhesive needs work. I hope to have better results with my blood tests next month

These things used to need a crowbar to take off but I noticed this past month's worth do not stay on well at all almost like a cheap sticky note sticks.

@alexbrecher Have you been receiving complaints about this recently? Is someone looking into it?

Hmm. I haven't had any issues with mine. The edges curl a bit after the end of the day. Putting mine on my shoulder. Some people suggested a quick swab of rubbing alcohol before applying

I'm using PatchMD Vitamins and I haven't had any trouble with them staying on. I am just wondering if they work??

Vitamin Patches? Say what? Never heard of these and doctors office never mentioned them either. Where can you purchase them?

PatchMD.com or you can get them from the bariatric pal store

Have any of you who have been on the patches noticed a difference in your labs?

My labs won't be for another few weeks. I'm hoping all will be well. Other than the patches not sticking on their own, I have no complaints. So I really hope they work! I'll update here when I know.

I had my 3 month labs done end of last month, all results were normal except cholesterol which surprises me as it went up a little since surgery and I'm down quite a bit of weight since my last labs.

I'm using the following Patches daily:

Multi-Vitamin

Vitamin D3

B12 Energy Plus

Omega 3

Starting them next week. You can do either, but B12 patch at night might keep you awake. I'm doing daytime.
