So I'm 6 weeks pre-surgery, and I'm curious as to what everyone is using as their B12 supplement...

I have heard of weekly nasal sprays, pills, and PatchMD.

I just want to know what has been the most successful for people overall.

Thanks!

I'm using PatchMD for everything. B12, multi, iron, calcium, and biotin.

I work at a pharmacy and have been talking with the owner about starting a patch vitamin subscription service!

Just an FYI. We already offer a discounted patch subscription service at the BariatricPal store.

I'm sooooo disappointed with patches right now. I think I may have had a reaction to the b12 patch (yes just the b12 patch...the multi and iron didn't do the same thing) when I went to speak to them about the problem to see if it was normal, I was hung up on before I could even finish.

What happened? Did you have a reaction? I purchased the multi and B12 too but haven't received them yet.

I did! I still have a bright red outline of where the patch was on my skin. I didn't have this problem with the iron or multi so idk what's up with it. I'm disappointed. I wanted it to work.

I have been using the multi, B12, iron, vitamin d, omega, sleep and biotin with no problems so far

I have super sensitive skin. Mine just came in the mail today and I'm starting them tomorrow. I'll let everyone know. Sorry that happened to you and you got crappy customer service. I bought thru the store on this site. We shall see!

Yeah i bought it from the main site!

After a month on the patch my iron level dropped even lower. I take the multivitamin patch. But wants me to take an additional iron and calcium tablet along with the patch

My NUT said there is not enough evidence the patches work. I'm wearing mine now (pre op) and hope my blood work comes back ok

We should see the results of this PatchMD study in a month or two.

Great! I love the idea of patches. I think if there was some hard science studies that would make my NUT very happy. She's skeptical.

I'm doing patch now too.. surgery on 4/17 .. I'm also waiting on my lab to see if it's really working.. love idea of them so convenient.. I have noticed a red outline if I have it on for a long day but it goes away by next day

Please update when you get your labs done! I had to buy chewables. She was dead set against patches. ☹️
