Hi! So after buying a ton of Vitamins off if amazon(few hundred dollars worth☹️😳😳) I realized I just can’t deal with swallowing or melting them in my mouth🤢 I decided to purchase the Patches on PatchMD after all. I read great reviews on them. This is my first day trying them. I bought the Bariatric 2 set(4 patches) and put 2 on left higher arm, 1 on right higher arm and one on right side of stomach. The ones on my arms burn a bit or feel sensitive. Has anyone experienced this and is it ok?

I don’t have any burning, i often wonder if they are working :) i put mine on my thighs, the glue was too good and sometimes would pull the skin off on my inner arms

I am day 7 post op. I just ordered the vitamin patches as well. I will have to let you know when I start trying them. My skin is very sensitive so I hope it works out for me. I too couldn't see ingesting another thing.

I love the convenience of them. Also not having to take a handful of supplements.

I use the ones I bought from Bariatricpal. I have sensitive skin as well. I put them on my stomach...for no particular reason than I can easily reach :) There is residue from the adhesive sometimes, but all in all doing great. I added the Biotin because I was losing SO MUCH hair. Got me back on track and now I have to keep up with my hair dye because its growing quickly!

I ordered those too. I am expecting the delivery today, but I won't start until Sunday. I was thinking of trying my hip first until the stitches come out. One less thing to worry about in the stomach area!! I added Biotin as well, thanks for the information. I also purchased Biotin Shampoo to help prepare for the Hair loss.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
