Hi there

We're sleeve sisters- I had my surgery 4th Oct too. Like you I'm up and down- it's the exhaustion that I'm finding hard. Is that why you feel you need B12 shot? My surgeon has advised I take berocca vit drink daily as well as multi vit but nothing else....

I take B Complex daily per my plan but also give myself a B12 injection monthly instead of doing the sublingual (also required to take). I already give myself a Humira injection twice a month so what is one more shot!

Also, didn't start the B Vitamins until month 2 per my plan.

It would be a good thing to discuss your options of B12 with your dr and NUT.

How r u able to give injection to yourself? Your Dr allows it?

Yes, I inject myself. It is a very simple thing. It doesn't bother me to do it. I figure it is one less Vitamin I have to worry about taking. ;-}

We discussed it pre-op but you could discuss it at your next visit. Also, they might let you come to the office for your monthly shot.
