I am scheduled for surgery 11/11. I am thinking about using the vitamin patches, do you use both the multi-vitamin patches and the calcium/vit D or just the multi.

Have you spoke with your physician to see if they approve the use of the patch?

I brought the info with me to the nutritionist apt her only concern was the folic acid might not be enough.

I use the patch multi, and calcium citrate plus D3 separate. The patch has calcium carbonate, but my surgeon wants me taking citrate, that's why it's separate. 

He also has me on Ferocon, which as much as I researched, I haven't found a LIST of what all is in that. I know it's an iron supplement with other vitamins in it, but i'm not sure what. He told me to take it plus a multi, so i take it and the patch. 

I am only 3 months post op, so no bloodwork yet, but my surgeon and NUT are ok with me seeing how the patch works out as long as I'm feeling well.
