Multi Patch...Anyone?



Recommended Posts

I asked about multi choices and got such a wide variety of answers that I am still not sure which may be best for me. Is anyone trying or using the multi Patches?

The Patches seem to work well for some, and not at all for others. All one can do it try them and see how your labs come out.

In the spirit of minimizing variables during a time of major changes after surgery< I would be inclined to stick with normal oral supplements until establishing how much of what is needed in your particular case, and then trying the patch to see how they work for you in comparison. But that's just me and my test geek brain.

I was going to say exactly what Rick said - they seem to work well for some, but not for others. I've never tried them since I was afraid I'd be in the latter group. I've considering getting some for taking on trips, though, so I wouldn't have to haul a bunch of pills and bottles along with me. Even if I'm one of the people whom the Patches don't work for, I don't think a week of getting no (or only a small amount of) Vitamins would be a disaster.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
