my nutritionist said not to use them. She said that "they are not recommended because we need the gut to facilitate the absorption of the Vitamin. The skin cannot absorb as effectively which could predispose a patient to Vitamin deficiencies". I emailed my nutritionist last week to ask because i forget to take my flinstone complete gummies sometimes.

Love them and they are so easy. 7 weeks out so no test results yet but others report excellent. My NUT reports their patients have good results so they now allow us to use now that there is some history.

I have heard primarily good feedback. One good way to check is to have your bloodwork done before starting and again a few months later. We have many options available in our online store:

My nutritionist recommended them since I hated the chewable. I use the multi and Iron. They're awesome!

Do you have to put a new patch on daily?

I HATE taking Vitamins so I got the Patches - so much easier. I use the multi, B-12 and the Iron. I'm a week out and have boundless energy so I have to believe they're working? Will see when I have my bloodwork.

Yes change daily. Actually leave on 8 hours, although my NUT said 12. I put multi on my shoulder late afternoon, early evening. sleep with it. After my morning shower, put my B12 somewhere hidden, hip. Butt, back shoulder under blouse. After work remove it. The other day I was confused I had two on in the evening. ???? What happens in Vegas stays in vegas, lol.

      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.
