My surgeon to be, called and said my B12 was low and I needed to get monthly shots.

I am okay with self injecting, but wanted to know if others felt better afterwards. How long before you noticed a difference?

Sometimes I'll notice later in the day, sometimes it'll take a day or two. It varies for me. Generally though, I always feel a "boost" from them.

Was told I was extemely low and they just put me on 1000 mg a day pill. I have not seen a difference in the way I feel.

pills will take a bit longer to kick in than the shots will.

I can usually tell about 3 hours after I have had a B12 shot,. everyone is different. I can tell a huge difference after 24 hours

Best of luck to you.

I inject myself monthly with B12. I feel the boost instantly. Wish it were weekly though.

The dr can write a script for B12. It's very easy to inject.

And they give you the needles to do so? I'm going to ask my surgeon!!! :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
