Told my neurologist yesterday about my surgery. He was excited for me and excited about me getting plenty B12. I told him my doc required sublingual every day or a shot every 3 months. He said he was gknna write me a script to do my own injections. I can't read his writting, but I can make out 1000 and shot on the script....haven't filled it yet. Anyone inject themselves and how often? He says there's no down side to having too much b12, but huge down side to not enough....how's your b12 given?

I don't understand why you need the shots. You didn't get a bypass. I was doing mine sublingual once a day and my first blood tests had my B12 vary high. He cut my B12 to every other day.

My surgeon requires sublingual once a day or a shot every 3 months....for some reason my neurologist wrote a script so i could give myself shots ....just seemed weird he was that concerned. I see my surgeon Friday....I wasn't gonna fill, it until I talked to him

I used to be on shots. After surgery I did the sublingual B12 and I was told my b12 was too high and to take every other day too.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
