Vitamin b12 high

I am 8 weeks out..down 32 pounds and happy.

Just one question before surgery my b12 was 487 now its 1900 when i took my 8 week bloodwork..

Im worried why so high..i thought it would be lower since the sleeve.

Aanyway i take bariatric multi vitamin.1 iron chewable and 2 soft chews calcium plus i take 2500 b12 sublingual vitamins..

Can that be why its high

Did anyone ever have this issue?

Yep my B12 has been 2000 for some time now. They reduced the dosage to 1 x a week and now every other week. If it stays high it will likely be discontinued by my doctor. I'm probably getting enough between my multi and food nutrients. I get repeat bloodwork then and will discuss it with my doctor.

I couldn't figure out why I was having trouble sleeping for a couple of weeks. After reading over my paperwork for the umpteenth time, the B12 is only once a week and I was taking it every day. I did not realize the effect of too much B12.

Sounds to me like you are taking much too high a dose of B12. I was told to only take 500 mcg daily.

I am 7mth post op. I take the sublingual B12. Initially it was 1 dropper every other day. Then once a week, now every other week. Likely it will be dropped from my routine.
