My surgery is scheduled for Aug 14 and I'm planning to use the vitamin patches because I have trouble with pill including chewables. Anyone going this route?

Hello Mrs. J my real name is "Jenee(Jenay)", I am scheduled for my Robotic Gastric Bypass Surgery for this Monday, August 7th at 9am. I am already preparing & planning, but yes, I will be using the vitamin patches. I have already ordered them[emoji4] Well let's keep in touch & I will be praying for both of us on our journey. God Bless![emoji4]

I had no idea vitamins came in patches, that's brilliant!!

YES! I plan on going thru PatchMD. Haven't seen another brand. My aunt, an RN, had surgery 4 years ago. She uses the patches and her labwork comes back within the right ranges ever since she started using them. Before she would gag and vomit up her vitamins or end up skipping a day or two because it's just so hard to WANT to take them. I'm definitely on board!

Yes let's keep in touch

Wow, I didn't even know these patches existed!

Where do you buy them from? Are they much more expensive than pill form?

More info please cause the chewables make me sick!

The bariatric pal store sells them. I plan on staying on my chewable for another month but looking ahead to switching to patch. Anyone been using the patches for a few months and have blood work checked?
