PatchMD vs Bariatric Advantage



Recommended Posts

My labs came out normal. I have been using the Patches for 4 months.

I started on Bariatric Advantage chewables, then switched to Patch MD Multivitamins plus after the first month. Eating 2 caramel calcium chews per day. My 3 month labs were all in the normal range. Vitamin D was on the low side of normal, but up from what it has been in the past. The folks at my clinic don't have a problem patients using them as they've seen good results, but did warn me to make sure the Patches don't come off when the heat of summer rolls around.

So I've been using the Patches pretty much since day one. My 1 month, 3 month and 6 month labs have all come back fine. My Iron has always been low and that is even up to normal levels. I don't know how much is the patch helping and how much is from food/drink but it's working for me and the Dr. is happy with the results.

Thanks for the update. We've sold thousands of the Patches and so far we've been only receiving positive feedback from patients and their surgeons.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
