Gastric Band Surgery Vitamin Patch Pack
The gastric band surgery does not interfere with your body’s ability to absorb nutrients from food, but this type of weight loss surgery is a restrictive procedure. Since the gastric band is restrictive, it leads to you eating less food and getting fewer vitamins and minerals from food. You may need vitamin supplements to supplement the vitamins and minerals you get from food and prevent deficiencies. The gastric band can lead to a high chance of vitamin and mineral deficiencies if you are not careful. Nutrient deficiencies can make you tired and less energized. They can slow your metabolism and keep you from losing as much weight as you deserve. Being deficient in some nutrients can even 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. Just put on a new vitamin patch each day for each of the patch
