My surgeons office offers B-12 injections. Does anyone else get them? If so, do they help you?

I took them last year. I wasn't banded, but I'm assuming the band wouldn't make much of a difference. They didn't do much for me. I wouldn't pay a lot for them. Just my personal opinion.

If you are struggling meeting your nutrition demands, they wouldn't be a bad idea. The B-12 injections are a supplement and nothing more. They help keep your energy up.

I now HAVE to take them now. I took B12 pills when I was banded and for me there is a big difference between the injections and the pills. I actually do my own injections (with a prescription from my doctor). The prescription only costs $5 a month. I can definately tell if I'm late or don't take mine when I should...my energy and mood drop (big time). My husband says I get "hormonal" - lol

I became B12 deficient as well as anemic. I have never felt so bad and tired all the time. Since upping my iron supplement and taking B12 shots I feel better. If you are getting what you need don't get the shots but if you start feeling bad get a blood test to see what you level is.

I should add that I got them for Energy. I'm glad to see that they gave others much energy! =)
