PatchMD Vendor
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 have been using these patches for a year now and with the exception of my iron levels my blood work has been great. I am 10+ years out from RNY. The price is little high but worth it as I hate taking pills and to be honest end up not taking them. They are easy to put on, wear while I am sleeping and then take them off in the AM.
I highly recommend these. The next time you see your surgeon share the information about these patches with your surgeon. I have made the suggestion they create patches for extra iron.
Happy Health!

I used to always forget to take my B12 supplements, I think mostly because I didn't like the sublingual flavors. I talked to my doctor about doing at-home injections, and he prescribed the necessary items for me to do 1cc per week. However, this too was something that I struggled to complete regularly, mostly because of the effort it took to prepare each injection and, of course, the sting of the needle. PatchMD's B12 patches completely remove the prior obstacles to taking my B12 on a regular basis. There is no taste, there is no pain, there is no effort required. I simply apply a patch after my shower each day and I'm good to go! I've been taking these for about 3 months now, I go in for lab work in a few months and I will re-post then about my levels :)
