The objectives in this study are to provide information on the efficacy of transdermal supplement patches on treating nutrient malabsorption and deficiency in post-op bariatric patients, and to determine short-term body composition, HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose outcomes for patients after bariatric surgery.
102 studies on the registry are indexed under Avitaminosis; 7 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 30 is below the median of 69 across 74 interventional studies indexed under Avitaminosis.

Dietary Supplement: PatchMD Vitamin D3/Calcium Patch · Dietary Supplement: PatchMD Multivitamin Patch · Dietary Supplement: PatchMD B12 Energy Plus Patch
Dietary Supplement: Chewable Multivitamin with Iron Dietary Supplement: Chewable Calcium Dietary Supplement: Quick Dissolve B12

Take daily: Chewable Multivitamin with Iron. The chewable vitamins, vitamin chew, or vitamin rapid/quick-melts can be consumed after surgery when cleared by the surgeon.
Also known as: Oral Vitamin Supplementation
Wear daily: PatchMD Vitamin D3/Calcium patch. The patch can be worn immediately after surgery in order to prevent deficiencies, and we hope to show that this supplementation method can also promote lean muscle mass retention. In addition, due to the malabsorptive properties of bariatric surgery, we hope to show that patients will be more likely to completely absorb the micronutrient via transdermal application than through oral intake.
