I had my 6 month follow-up (I'm at 5.5 mos) visit yesterday with my surgical team. I've lost 76 lbs, and all my labs came back PERFECT I've been using GENEPRO for supplementing and PatchMD Vitamin Patches and clearly both are doing a great job for me. When I had surgery, I was still mildly anemic from a long 5 years of severe iron-deficiency anemia and I was taking vit D supplements for a vit D deficiency. The patches have corrected the anemia and my vit D levels have stayed where they were with oral supplementation.

All in all, it was great...blood Protein levels are right where they should be, Calcium and Iron were perfect and I continue to have good energy and am steadily losing still. Just wanted to share my good news

This is great to hear! I'm considering the vitamin patches because taking vitamins orally is not sitting well in my stomach yet, so it's good to know that they are keeping your markers healthy!

Great news @@ShelterDog64, my bariatric twin! I had my checkup last week and labs were great. Both my surgeon and primary care doc were impressed. Sure made me happy! 5.5 mths and down 74 lbs!

We're KILLING this!! So happy to be on this journey to health with you, @@suzzzzz !!

You go girl!!!

I'm having my 3 month post op in January. I've been slacking with my Vitamins tho so I'm kind of scared. I try but im always so focused on getting enough fluids and Protein i always forget. Anyone have a plan or way they take their pills? I have huge calcium pills im nearly terrified of taking. Im lucky if i remember my chewable multi. How do you guys do it? I'm really struggling with everything????????

May I ask which patches exactly?? The multi? B12?

@@Nina1125 I use the multi, the B12, the Vit D/Calcium and the Iron. So far, so good

Oh no... Now I wanna get the VitD/Calcium and the Iron now. Look what you do to me? (I'd say the B12 too but I have a couple of bottles I need to finish up first /cry)
