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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
