I just saw “Vitamin patch”
What’s that like? I tend to be a little leery of anything “ Patchy”

they came out a couple of years ago. A lot of people like them because you just put the patch on your skin and forget it. I've been hanging around on these boards for quite awhile (this and another one), enough to know that they work well for most people, but they don't for everyone.....a few people ended up with some deficiencies after using them for a few months. I've never tried them because I'm afraid I'd be one ofthe unlucky ones, and I don't want to deal with Vitamin deficiencies. But again, for most people, they work just fine.

Pardon me, care to explain why? I thought its good as gummies dissolve easily? Instead of swallow?

sorry - I thought I'd responded to this, but now I don't see my response. I did it from my phone, so maybe something got screwed up. Anyway, I'm not sure about the rationale for this, I was just told not to take anything in Gummy form. I assume it's either an absorption issue or they might not have everything in them that we need - I'm not sure. But I do know a lot of people's surgeons don't recommend them.

      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.

        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.

      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!
