If you have been advised by your Dr that you need to take these shots, I would ask your Dr.

Yes, please call your doctor if it isn't on the bottle. Everyone is different, so please do NOT go by what someone else is taking. You could harm yourself.

Just for your reference a cc is the same as a ml so 1 cc = 1 ml. The insert with the B-12 vial and on the prescription bottle will have your dosage. If you are uncertain, call your doctor or pharmacist to verify.

I know what my dosage is but don't know if every doc prescribes the same amount.

My pharmacist showed me & hubby. My dr had a larger syringe ordered for my injections, the pharmacist gave me smaller needles and told/showed us how much to draw up on the smaller syringe.

Please consult your doctor/nurse/pharmacist for this info as everyone elses order may be different from your own. I take my shots once a month; I know of another person who takes it more often.

      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.
