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.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
