Hi! So after buying a ton of Vitamins off if amazon(few hundred dollars worth☹️😳😳) I realized I just can’t deal with swallowing or melting them in my mouth🤢 I decided to purchase the Patches on PatchMD after all. I read great reviews on them. This is my first day trying them. I bought the Bariatric 2 set(4 patches) and put 2 on left higher arm, 1 on right higher arm and one on right side of stomach. The ones on my arms burn a bit or feel sensitive. Has anyone experienced this and is it ok?

I don’t have any burning, i often wonder if they are working :) i put mine on my thighs, the glue was too good and sometimes would pull the skin off on my inner arms

I am day 7 post op. I just ordered the vitamin patches as well. I will have to let you know when I start trying them. My skin is very sensitive so I hope it works out for me. I too couldn't see ingesting another thing.

I love the convenience of them. Also not having to take a handful of supplements.

I use the ones I bought from Bariatricpal. I have sensitive skin as well. I put them on my stomach...for no particular reason than I can easily reach :) There is residue from the adhesive sometimes, but all in all doing great. I added the Biotin because I was losing SO MUCH hair. Got me back on track and now I have to keep up with my hair dye because its growing quickly!

I ordered those too. I am expecting the delivery today, but I won't start until Sunday. I was thinking of trying my hip first until the stitches come out. One less thing to worry about in the stomach area!! I added Biotin as well, thanks for the information. I also purchased Biotin Shampoo to help prepare for the Hair loss.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
