PatchMD Vendor
Received a sample of this at the OH2017 Conference and love the ease of use. I also ordered the Multivitamin patches to give them all a try and see how effective the patch will be in my long vitamin needs. The rep was really nice and knowledgeable.

Have Been on the Patch Multivitamin 5 months.
Got some bloodwork back today and all seems steady and good.
A few points:
Vitamin D- I have been Vit D deficient for over a decade pre-WLS. I finally started taking a liquid Vit D supplement and take 20,000mg a day just to get myself in the bottom range of normal. Without changing that dosage and adding the patch, I am now at 86 in a range of 30-100. So I am absorbing the vitamin D from the patch. Very excited about this. Have never had a Vit D this high.
B-12- I was taking 2000mg B-12 sublingually daily prior to the patch. I need to be at the high end of normal or high or I start to get symptoms even though I never bottom out into deficient. When I started the patch- because it has B-12 in it I cut back to one 1000mg sublingual. Well my B-12 has held steady at 1100. So again I am absorbing the B-12 from the patch.
Very happy using the Patch MD vitamin

I had RNY in 2001 and had issues with my vitamin levels. It was always so difficult for me to take all of my vitamins and still feel like I could get my food and fluids in. I wish PatchMD had been around then, I think it would have made my early post op days so much easier. However, since finding them a year ago, I have faithfully been purchasing all of my vitamin needs from them, including the B12 patch. I apply one patch per day and I feel great. I can tell when I have forgotten to apply them, as I don't feel as energetic. I am thankful these are now available and would recommend them to anyone, regardless of surgery type.

Taking my vitamins is always hit and miss especially the sub-lingual B-12 with the horrible taste and lasting aftertaste. I stumbled across patch md almost by accident I bought my first 30 day supply about 3 months ago and have been buying every 30 days these patches make taking my vitamins a breeze. I also use the D3 and the multivitamin.

I am a long term post op and stopped taking my iron for awhile... Just got tired of the pills and taste of the supplements. My labs tanked and I started using the patches. Kept close watch on my labs and my iron count came back up and has been great ever since. I have been using the patches for over 5 years now and will never go back to pills.
