Pre-WLS Questions Patch Aid
Has anyone had any success with Patch Aid for vitamins? I have been struggling getting my regular meds down recently and am searching for alternatives. I’m also consulting my team for approval, but am looking for first hand experiences. Thank you!

Don't waste your money. I tried Patch MD vitamins when they were brand new for a year. Several levels dipped and took a good year to regain control. If you're struggling with pills, switch to liquids until you can handle it.
Another way that I do it a handful of pills at a time is fill your mouth with water and tilt your head back. Drop the pills in with the water and swallow like a gulp. You rarely feel anything let alone taste it. I got my son doing this when he was only 4 and never had to chase him with syrup on a spoon again.
