Has anyone used the Vitamin Patch? If so, how effective do you think it is?

The Patches seem to work OK for some, and not at all for others. Most of the DS people that I know who have tried them find them not to work for them. They certainly are attractive for getting rid of some of the hassle in the Vitamin regimen, but at this point, as early out as you are, things are very dynamic as your diet is different than it will be a year from now, and you (and your docs) are still figuring out what you need to keep things stable, so the question of whether or not the patch is working is an extra variable to work into the equation. IOW, if, say, your Iron or vit D is running low, is it because your dosage needs to be adjusted, or because the patch isn't working?

As much as you would like to get away from a lot of the pills, it is probably better to experiment with it in a year or two when things are more stable.
