What are your thoughts on multivitamin patches?

Oh gosh! I love the idea! However, we were told in class that there is no proof, or not enough proof anyway that these actually would be absorbed through our skin.

everything in me screams, WELL WHY NOT??

But since I am not educated enough on the patches, I made the decision to listen to the Doctor and RDs in my bariatric group.

I am scheduled for surgery Dec 6th, so I have been busy buying all of my "supplies". I actually asked my NUT about the patches before I bought my multi vitamin and she said the patches were fine to use. I guess every program is different.

I've heard from a couple of different doctors that they aren't effective if you're over 185 pounds. It's really just an "insurance policy" as my NUT puts it, so they would probably be fine since you'll eventually get that weight probably.

Thank you for the information on the patches. I will try them when i get under 180 pounds.
