Vitamin Patch Placement



Recommended Posts

For those that are on the vitamin patches where do you find the best success placing them? I've been putting them on my lower back but within a few hours they've gone missing Lol.

They can be squirrelly little buggars. Lol. I put mine under my bra on the side. This seems to hold them in place and keep them undisturbed. I also had some success with the bottom of my feet.

Never considered the bottom of my feet...gotta try that one. I have one on my boob now HAHAHA!. It's the on that fell off this morning so I just stuck it in my bra. It's staying tight so I think I'll keep doing the bra method ????...Thanks!

I put my multi Vitamin patch on my upper arm, where a shot is typically given, but wear it overnight in my pjs. During the day I put my vit. B12 in various places. Shoulder, butt, lower back. Once I placed it over a tattoo and got a rash.

I read somewhere to tape edges with surgical tape or put a band-aid over the patch.< /p>

Does it seem like the Patches are doing the trick? Are you getting the full dose of Vitamins you need?

I put mine on the tops of my shoulders, so that my bra strap rests on top of them and helps hold them in place. Seems to work well for me - I had the same problem with them falling off in a matter of hours when I tried putting them on my hips or lower back.

      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! 😞
