What are your doc’s saying about vitamin patches??

Mine told me that he didn't care if I took Flintstone vitamins just take them. LOL The nutritionist winced when I told her what he said. She told me the patches don't absorb as well and has me taking chewables. But then I had gastric bypass.

Sometimes it's hard for me to get those 4 horse pills down everyday. I may try the patches at some point.

That’s where I am at as well.. the pills are hard to swallow.

they seem to work for some but not for others. I've never tried them because I figured I'd be one of those for whom they wouldn't work. Some clinics seem to be OK with them, others advise against them (probably because they don't work for everyone)

The local clinic I originally discussed the surgery with did not recommend them, but i had surgery elsewhere and there is nothing in the paperwork about them from the Mexican surgeon. My own nutritionist seems okay with them, but may redirect after labs we do after first six months. I only use the b12 patches right now— but my daughter (no surgery) is low iron, and hates the pills- so we are trying them on her. She seems to notice a difference. Time will tell, and I’ll update when i know more.

I am ordering patches to add to some capsules and chews I'm taking. I don't like pills, some days they will not go down. It's all in my head, I know, but still... I'm doing chews and want to finish what I have and get another alternatives. I feel the patches will help me get to a routine. 30 days and I will re-evaluate. VSG May 15, 2023
