I have and am using them. I just had some blood work done last month (my 3 month labs). Everything was good except for my Iron so now I have to take an extra iron pill. But.....I’ve always struggled with iron so I’m thinking it’s not related to the patch. Like I said, everything else was good.
I could probably take regular pills now but I remember a couple of days after surgery, I tried to take some Tylenol. I cut it in half and omg was the worst feeling ever. It felt like it was just sitting there! So I would definitely recommend the Patches especially in the beginning!

PatchMD recently updated the supplement amount included in each patch. They're MUCH lower than they previously offered. Do some research and compare nutritional facts on each patch.

I've never used the Patches, but I know a lot of people who have (not sure of which brand they use, though). They work very well for some and not so well for others. But you can always try them and see. As long as you're early out and therefore getting labs done fairly frequently, you should be able to tell fairly quickly if they're working for you or not, I would think....

I am now using the Patches and will use them after my surgery as well. As I progress I will most like start taking Vitamins by mouth if I can tolerate them.

I used Multivitamins Patches for 3 weeks after surgery because i was afraid to swallow large pills. After 3wks i started taking regular pills. My labs were OK. My surgeon said it's ok to use patches short time.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
