Has B12 shots helped anyone



Recommended Posts

I was banded in Mar and I have lost about 25 lbs so far and had my first fill back at the first of the month. My weight loss has been really slow since my fill and I have no energy...I was wondering if anyone has had B12 shots in conjunction with the fills / band.

I eat 3 small meals and day, drink lots of Water or water with crystal lite in it....If I have a snack in the evening it is some kind of veg or fruit maybe a Protein Drink or ensure clear...

I was just wondering how this would work...

Thanks and Good Luck everyone...

I did B-12 shots as a part of one of many weight loss attempts. It helps for about the first week or so, it provides sustained energy but honestly it didn't do much else for very long either. Are you taking your Vitamins? I would suggest going to a health food or nutrition store and grabbing a liquid B complex (6, 12 and one other number) and Vitamin D (start with 1,000 iu).

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
