A vitamin patch pack for life after gastric bypass surgery.
The Gastric Bypass Surgery Vitamin Patch Pack by PatchAid is a four-patch vitamin patch pack assembled for people who have had gastric bypass surgery: a 27-nutrient multivitamin, a B complex built around methylcobalamin, calcium with vitamin D3, and iron.*
Gastric bypass surgery is both restrictive and malabsorptive, so providers routinely ask gastric bypass patients to stay on daily vitamins and minerals long term and to check levels through lab work. If swallowing pills is the hard part, these are worn on the skin instead.

Gastric Bypass Surgery 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. Bring the ingredient panels to your next appointment.
How much iron is in the Gastric Bypass Surgery Vitamin Patch 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. That is above the adult tolerable upper intake level of 45 mg per day for supplemental iron. Confirm with your provider before wearing both, and have your iron levels checked through routine lab work.
Does the Gastric Bypass Surgery Vitamin Patch Pack contain caffeine?
No. All four patches are caffeine-free and contain no stimulants.
How long do you wear each patch?
Up to 8 hours per day, then remove and discard. Use one of each patch per day and rotate placement daily to keep skin comfortable.

Caution
For external use only. Wear each patch up to 8 hours. Do not reuse. Keep away from broken or irritated skin and eyes. Wash hands after applying. Keep out of reach of children. Do not apply heat, such as a heating pad, over the patch.
Do not use if you are allergic to any ingredient in this product. Stop use and speak with your healthcare provider if you experience irritation or a reaction. Not for use during pregnancy or nursing without guidance from your provider. If you take any medication or are managing a health condition, speak with your provider before use.
Two patches in this pack contain iron: the Iron Plus Patch (50 mg) and the Multivitamin Plus Patch (45 mg). Worn on the same day that is 95 mg of listed iron, above the adult tolerable upper intake level of 45 mg per day. The pack also stacks vitamin D3 and calcium across patches. Review all four ingredient panels with your provider before wearing them together.
If you have a condition that affects how your body absorbs or stores iron, or your provider has told you to limit iron, speak with your healthcare provider before use. Monitor iron levels through routine lab work as you would with any iron supplement.
After gastric bypass surgery, nutrient needs are set by your provider and confirmed through routine lab work. Use this pack alongside that plan, not in place of it.
