my nutritionist said not to use them. She said that "they are not recommended because we need the gut to facilitate the absorption of the Vitamin. The skin cannot absorb as effectively which could predispose a patient to Vitamin deficiencies". I emailed my nutritionist last week to ask because i forget to take my flinstone complete gummies sometimes.

Love them and they are so easy. 7 weeks out so no test results yet but others report excellent. My NUT reports their patients have good results so they now allow us to use now that there is some history.

I have heard primarily good feedback. One good way to check is to have your bloodwork done before starting and again a few months later. We have many options available in our online store:

My nutritionist recommended them since I hated the chewable. I use the multi and Iron. They're awesome!

Do you have to put a new patch on daily?

I HATE taking Vitamins so I got the Patches - so much easier. I use the multi, B-12 and the Iron. I'm a week out and have boundless energy so I have to believe they're working? Will see when I have my bloodwork.

Yes change daily. Actually leave on 8 hours, although my NUT said 12. I put multi on my shoulder late afternoon, early evening. sleep with it. After my morning shower, put my B12 somewhere hidden, hip. Butt, back shoulder under blouse. After work remove it. The other day I was confused I had two on in the evening. ???? What happens in Vegas stays in vegas, lol.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
