Patches



Recommended Posts

Hi All

Does any one uses the Patches on here? Do the work? I am from Australia and a number of them look really good for me rather than taking a ton of tablets.....I already take 20in the morning lol

My surgery center said no Patches or gummies, but I know many people here use them and have good results. One thing is if you have sensitive skin, it's possible to get a rash from the adhesive. Maybe someone else here has had good results and will respond. I'm just responding mostly to "upvote" your post!

I have sensitive skin and get a rash from them but I do use a Vitamin D one on top of tablets to combat my chronic Vitamin d deficiency. So far with it my levels have been good.

Hopefully someone has more input for you.

I use the Patches because I get really nauseous from Vitamins. Did before surgery, now it is worse, so my dr said to do the patches. Have recently had blood work and all my levels are good/improved except my Iron is a bit low. I would check with your dr. Here is a picture of what I use. I order directly from their website.

the Patches work for some but not for others. I've never tried them because I'm sure I'd be one of those people they don't work for. But they might be worth a shot if you're tired of taking all the pills - they may end up working for you.

Thank you for posting this. I have just bought them from eBay Australia just in case I cant get the tablets down after VSG.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
