Use the PatchMd.com
It's awesome. I can't stomach the Vitamins. The patch is the best way to get your Bariatric vitamins.

My nutritionalist said the Patches are worthless, you can’t get Vitamins thru you skin, exempt vitamins d. So you are going to be low on all the others. Talk to your surgery team and find a way of working around the nausea. This is really important in your long term success. food cravings can be made worse if you are Vitamin deficient.

This is awesome and I’m grateful. Once I’m post-op I will likely take you up on your offer. I remember reading some of your other posts too. Such a positive influence!

Lisamd. My surgery is also next Monday 16th. I find I am trying to talk myself out of it but I know I would be gaining weight over the next year if I don’t go through with it. We should be more scared what would happen to us if we did not go through it. Diabetes heart disease joint pain stroke and most of all not being able to participate in life!!! Well wishes with your surgery. You will be fine.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
