Bariatric vitamins are indispensable for weight loss surgery patients. Bariatric surgery puts you at risk for nutrient deficiencies, and most patients need to take nutritional supplements to keep their levels up.
With so many different products on the market, it’s hard to select the right one for yourself. But bariatric vitamin patches from PatchAid may be right for you if you’re interested in getting high amounts of vitamins and minerals, convenience is a priority, and you don’t want to risk having side effects from digesting capsules or other oral supplements. Be sure to talk to your healthcare provider about your specific needs before taking any nutritional supplements.
Most surgeons require their patients to take a bariatric multivitamin for life. You may also need supplements of additional vitamins and minerals because it’s even harder to get sufficient amounts of them or to store enough of them in your body. These are some reasons why bariatric surgery patients are at higher risk for vitamin and mineral deficiencies than some other populations.
The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) has guidelines for which vitamins and minerals are at especially high risk for deficiency, and how much most patients should take.
Now that you need to take bariatric vitamins, which ones should you take? There are capsules, liquid vitamins, chewable tablets, and even gummies. But these are all similar in that you need to take them by mouth. Bariatric vitamin patches are different.
A bariatric vitamin patch has these advantages.
They may sound great in theory, but do vitamin patches work for bariatric patients? Here’s how vitamin patches work.
They contain their active ingredients in a layer. The ingredients are suspended in a matrix, and are activated when they touch your skin. They get into your body by a transdermal route, meaning they cross the layers of your skin to get into your bloodstream.
That means you don’t need to depend on absorption in your digestive tract to get your vitamins and minerals, which is great news if you had a malabsorptive procedure such as gastric bypass. And, vitamins won’t be competing for absorption using limited resources in your digestive tract.
Because of the way the ingredients are in the matrix layer of the patch, bariatric vitamin patches can have very high amounts of vitamins and minerals, and a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, and other ingredients, too.
It’s super easy to use bariatric vitamin patches. Here’s how.
And don’t worry - the patches are super discrete. They even have an option with clear patches so people can barely see them! Or you can just use the patches on an area of skin that’s typically covered by clothing.
While you’re wearing your patch or patches, you can go about your normal business. Whatever you’d normally be doing during those 8 hours is okay, whether that’s sleeping, working, working out, or taking a shower. The patches are designed for living!
The Multivitamin Plus Patch is at the heart of our bariatric vitamin patches. That’s because it’s specifically formulated to contain high amounts of essential vitamins that are at high risk for deficiency in bariatric surgery patients, including these.
When you look at the quantities, you can see that this multivitamin patch is very different than a multivitamin that’s not specifically designed for bariatric surgery patients.
This bariatric vitamin patch is available with or without iron.
There are times when your healthcare provider may suggest getting higher amounts of specific vitamins or minerals from an additional supplement. We offer these patches in particular.
If you’re a bariatric surgery patient, you’re sure to be working hard to lose weight. For those efforts, you deserve to lose as much weight as possible. That’s what our weight loss patches are designed to help you do.
These vitamin patches are specially formulated to support weight loss through different pathways. For example, appetite suppressants make food less appetizing so that you are likely to eat less. Metabolism boosters help increase calorie burn or normalize use of nutrients in food. Carb blockers target carbohydrates in the food you eat so that they are less likely to contribute calories.
These are some PatchAid Vitamin Patches for weight loss that could be in line with your goals.
All vitamin patches, including those for weight loss, are designed to be used along with healthy eating and regular physical activity according to your surgeon and nutritionist’s guidelines. Be sure to talk to your healthcare provider before using a weight loss or any other vitamin patch or nutritional supplement.
Weight loss isn’t the only goal in life! It’s definitely a major goal for bariatric surgery patients, but there is more to focus on than just weight loss. You might be interested in other health goals, and chances are that there is a vitamin patch for that!
These are some examples of other vitamin patches that fit into health goals for many bariatric surgery patients.
There may also be lifestyle goals that interest you.
Whether it’s healthy living or a specific health condition that you’re thinking about, be sure to talk to your healthcare provider about any concerns you may have. Also be sure to ask which patches may be a good idea for you before you try any new ones.
Are you unsure what the best bariatric vitamin patches are for you? The easiest choice may be to opt for a Bariatric Surgery Patch Pack. They’re based on common needs for the most popular types of bariatric surgery procedures.
After bariatric surgery, it’s critical to stay nourished for health and weight loss. Bariatric vitamin patches can be the easiest way to get your bariatric vitamins. Just ask your healthcare provider which ones are right for you.
