Vitamin Patches
There are posts in the general and VSG forums from the last couple of days by people who have had great success with them.

I'd agree if we were talking about oral supplements. But I fail to see how transdermal absorption would be different for normies, RNY, VSG, or DS.

I had high hopes and used them for a year. My labs weren't as stellar as I was expecting, so it's just not worth the cost. The pills require more of a routine, but the cost is lower overall since I found myself needing 3-4 patches of different types to try to raise the levels that were dropping. Sigh...it just didn't work out.

For the patches, I was taking patches in place of multi, D and Iron. My lab results showed I was short on A, D iron and calcium.
For my pill schedule now, I take 2 multi's, 2 zinc/copper, gentle iron, C, dry D (100,000 iu), dry A (50,000 iu), 3000mg of Calcium Citrate
