I first bought these shots in the hospital pharmacy in Mexico -- now I get them at a similar price per injection (about $2.50) from a Mexican pharmacy site. It may be placebo effect, but I *think* I fell better on them :)

There are a lot of good YouTube videos on giving yourself a B-12 shot - I can't feel a thing when I inject the upper/outer quadrant of my buttocks - I just stand in front of a full length mirror and twist to get a good view :)

Any compounding pharmacy can mix its about $12. Per 30ml. You can also get single dose vials dirt cheap.

I tried to do the B12 sublingual Tablets for a month or so and it felt like it took five-six minutes to dissolve even though they were tiny. Decided to go with the B12 injections. I had to call up my Dr. and get a prescription. When I got to the pharmacy (Walgreens), I noticed that they offer many different types of shots i.e. Flu Shots... Basically, everything but B12 shots I inquired as to if they could give B12 shots also. They said if you have a prescription, they could administer the shot. It is an unwritten/unmentioned service that is offered to customers. So, for the last 2 months, I have been getting B12 shots from the Pharmacist. In and out in about 10 minutes. B12 prescription is $15.00, administering the shot is free! Hope this helps.

There's no way I could give myself a shot! I also pay $15 for my monthly B12, and the pharmacist at Kroger gives it to me lickety split!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
