Hello......go to Vitamin Shoppe, but I think you should check with your doctor about taking Beta Carotene instead of straight Vit. A. The reason I say this is because Vit. A can become toxic, whereas our bodies turn Beta Carotene into the Vitamin A our bodies need without becoming toxic.
I am 18 yrs. post-op Distal Gastric Bypass. I also deal with low vitamin & mineral levels.
yes I currently use two patches a day and still have to have the Injectifer. But the time between needing infusions is every 6-9 months instead of every three months.
I've been battling anemia for at least 15 years (I'm 17 years post-op). I was never able to maintain my iron levels with oral iron only. I'm sorry injectafer didn't work for you. It has been the only infusion drug that has worked for me. The combination of a good infusion drug (for me) and no longer having a monthly period has helped enormously. I've actually kept my levels above normal for almost 3 years. Sorry I've never tried the patches so I can't recommend either way.
Are you working with a hematologist?
I hope you can figure out what works best for you.

I don't use this brand and know nothing about them. I use PatchMD but they are not a stand alone supplement for me. I no longer absorb oral iron at all, so infusions are always in my future.
my endocrinologist thinks using the patches helps me maintain my iron levels for longer between infusions,so the infusions are not necessary as often.
