The RV been on Patches for almost two years. Love them. Numbers are good, and cheaper that bariatric Vitamins.

MYTACO got a reaction from TakingABreak in Vitamin Patches
I use the patch, but also have to take a few other supplements. In particular B12, vitamin D, calcium. I also take Biotin and magnesium (the latter for constipation). Depending on the levels following blood work, I have modified some of the supplements. For instance I now only take B12 every other day.
The reason I do the patch is because the large Multivitamins always upset my stomach. So far, no issues with the patch sticking. Although I do recommend removing it before bathing or swimming. For some reason they really stick when wet. I also rotate the location where I stick it, butt or shoulder. -

MYTACO got a reaction from mcplu28 in Constipation
I tried Miralax. Like most laxatives (and even the Fiber supplements) it cases cramps and gas. The magnesium gel caps do not do that. -

My NUT had me take magnesium gel tabs. Two at night. Don't need Fiber or stool softeners anymore!

I am almost two years post op. So yes, you can take magnesium. But recommend the gel tabs because easier on the stomach. No more cramping or bloating. I wish they had told me about it sooner.
