    Collagen supplements

    My personal fave are the 25g shots https://store.bariatricpal.com/collections/collagen-for-bariatric-patients/products/bariatricpal-25g-whey-protein-collagen-power-shots-crisp-apple . They're very tart so if you don't like tart this isn't for you.

    Sounds like you need an adjustment. You should be able to have fluid removed from your lap band, even after 15 years. Have you reached out to a local lap-band surgeon? You can call 800-LAP-BAND to locate a lap-band surgeon near where you're located.

    Vitamin A supplementation

    PatchMD recently updated the supplement facts on most of their vitamin patches. It looks like they've dramatically DECREASED most of the vitamins included in each patch. If you use PatchMD vitamin patches, please check the Nutrition Facts on your latest pack of patches. You'll most likely be pretty shocked. Check out PatchAid vitamin Patches as a much better alternative! You can SAVE 30-45% on your first order plus always receive FREE SHIPPING on orders over $39 at https://www.PatchAid.com. PatchAid is manufactured in the same facility as the "other" patches and has MUCH better nutritionals. You can read over 5,000 real customer reviews on PatchAid at https://patchaid.com/pages/real-patchaid-product-reviews-from-real-people.
