A vitamin patch pack for gastric bypass surgery, built for an active lifestyle.
The Gastric Bypass Surgery Active Lifestyle Vitamin Patch Pack by PatchAid pairs the core gastric bypass nutrients with patches for joints, metabolism, and sleep: seven daily patches in all.*
Gastric bypass surgery is both restrictive and malabsorptive, so providers routinely ask gastric bypass patients to stay on daily vitamins and minerals long term. This pack adds the extras that come up most for people staying active while they lose weight: joint support, metabolic support, and rest.

Gastric Bypass Surgery Active Lifestyle Vitamin Patch Pack FAQ
Does this pack replace what my surgical team recommends?
No. Follow your provider's plan. Your surgical or nutrition team decides which nutrients you need and at what amounts, and monitors your levels through routine lab work.
How much iron is in this pack?
Two patches carry iron: the Iron Plus Patch lists 50 mg and the Multivitamin Plus Patch lists 45 mg, so wearing both on the same day is 95 mg of listed iron, above the adult tolerable upper intake level of 45 mg per day. Confirm with your provider before wearing both, and have your iron levels checked through routine lab work.
Does this pack contain caffeine?
Yes, from one patch. The Metabolism Plus Patch contains green tea extract, a natural source of caffeine. The other six patches are caffeine-free.
Can I use this pack with antidepressants or sleep medication?
No, not the Sleep Aid Patch. It contains 5-HTP, L-tryptophan, and melatonin; do not use it if you take an SSRI, SNRI, MAOI, tricyclic antidepressant, triptan, tramadol, lithium, St. John's Wort, or any other serotonergic medication, because combining these can lead to a serious condition called serotonin syndrome. See the Caution section below for full details.
