I got the PatchMD vitamin patches, and I'm scheduled for blood work in 2 weeks...

By all means, try them. But the next two weeks won't tell you anything. You could take new vitamins, or none at all, and your labs won't show the difference.
If it were me, I would continue taking your old vitamins for until your bloodwork is drawn, then switch to the patch. After 6 months or a year, compare your labs from the patch and regular vitamins and see if there's a difference.
