The gastric sleeve surgery, or vertical sleeve gastrectomy, involves cutting out most of your stomach and forming the remaining part into a tube-shaped sleeve. The surgery helps you eat less because the sleeve is so small that it fills up quickly. Also, your hunger hormones drop, so you are less hungry.

You are at risk for vitamin and mineral deficiencies since you eat much less food after gastric sleeve surgery. Nutrient deficiencies can make you tired and less energized. They can slow your metabolism and interfere with weight loss. Being deficient in some nutrients can have long-term effects, such as nerve damage and weaker bones.

Don’t risk getting vitamin and mineral deficiencies! If your doctor recommends supplements and you hate swallowing pills or chewing your supplements, try vitamin patches instead. Put on a new vitamin patch each day for each in the Gastric Sleeve Vitamin Patch Pack by PatchAid.

The vitamin patches have the essential vitamins and minerals your body needs for good health and extra amounts of the specific vitamins and minerals you need after gastric bypass surgery.

The PatchAid Gastric Sleeve Patch Pack includes the following:

• Multivitamin Plus Patch

• B12 Energy Plus Vitamin Patch

• Vitamin D3 Patch with K2 and Magnesium

PatchAid Vitamin Patch Difference

At PatchAid Vitamin Patches, we support total health. We see the human body as the complex, interactive system that it is, with ever-changing components that affect each other. This holistic philosophy is reflected in our patches when you see that PatchAid vitamin patches contain more nutrients per vitamin patch than other vitamin patch brands.

Another PatchAid difference is the value we deliver to our customers. Our vitamin patches come with clear backing for a clear reason: it works. Other vitamin patch brands come with a white paper backing that can stick to the vitamin patch and damage the vitamin patch when you try to peel off the backing. Our vitamin patches come with a clear backing designed specifically to make sure every vitamin patch is usable, every time.

To Use Vitamin Patches:

1. Select an area of skin. The vitamin patch will stick better if you choose an area of skin without hair, lotion, or oil residues such as your shoulder, back, or hip. Clean and dry the skin.
2. Remove the vitamin patch from the release liner.
3. Adhere the vitamin patch to your skin, pressing firmly.
4. For best results, it is recommended to wear PatchAid vitamin patches for 8 hours. There is no additional benefit wearing the vitamin patch longer than 8 hours.
5. When finished, remove the vitamin patch, fold it in half, and discard.
6. Repeat with a new vitamin patch the next day.

It is ok to wear multiple PatchAid vitamin patches at a time.

PatchAid vitamin patches are Latex, Lactose, Gluten, and Sugar-free.
