Mikee57 699 Posted April 29, 2014 I was wondering if any of you lap-banders are Vitamin B12 deficient? Apparently I am, so they are going to try me on a new nasal B12 inhaler called Nascobal...has anyone tried it? Thanks for any information you can offer!!!

chrissy10 159 Posted April 29, 2014 I was told by my NUT to start B12 right away. I do not think I am deficient, but I take supplements that I buy from GNC. It will help with your energy level also. I can tell when I forget to take mine. Let me know how it goes. 1 Mikee57 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rigonj 103 Posted April 29, 2014 I've never taken the nasal spray but I do take B12 everyday. It's a Gummy so I think of it as a treat. And I can tell the difference with taking it and not taking it. It gives me lots more energy. 2 Mikee57 and chrissy10 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joshuawhite040 0 Posted October 17, 2014 Never had nasal spray but I take Vitamin B12 sublingual daily. Sublingual is the easiest form as you just place it under your tongue and the vitamin directly absorbed into the blood stream. I buy my sublingual from Vita4Life since they offer b12 in methylcobalamin, which is the best form of b12 for the body to absorb the vitamin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharpie 3,306 Posted October 17, 2014 I have taken B12 from the start, I buy the chewable from GNC. so far I feel it's working, I do notice a difference in my energy level if I forget it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jencathen 16 Posted October 22, 2014 I am using Nascobal and I do not find it anymore effective then the sublinguals that I used to get so when my 90 day supply is up, I'm going to save myself the huge copay and just go with the sublinguals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corridor72 518 Posted October 23, 2014 I haven't had my B12 levels checked in several months so I don't know. I have a checkup scheduled with my primary care provider later this month though and he's planning to check all of those macronutrient levels then along with some other labs. I'm thinking I may need a blood transfusion by the time they get drawing blood this time with all he has planned to obtain!lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhaymom 38 Posted October 23, 2014 I use the Nascobal, it seems to work fine I haven't used any other forms than the nasal spray. It costs me $25/month for the nascobal and all of my other Vitamins through the company. and it gets delivered to me. Thought it was a pretty good offer.

Natasha Estrada 36 Posted November 1, 2014 I have the same deal $25 a month for all the Vitamins and the nascobal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerbear 17 Posted November 1, 2014 I was taking B12 shots until recently. My doctor switched me to the nasal spray. I have not had blood work yet to see how it works. I do like it better than shots. I also get the combo of Vitamins Iron Calcium and B12. My runs $15 a month Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jencathen 16 Posted November 1, 2014 I was hoping to get the $25 deal also, but they ended up not taking either of my insurances so I switched to the mail order pharmacy for the B-12 and it is $50 for 3 month supply. The other Vitamins I get from Bariatric Advantage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AngelML1977 1 Posted November 2, 2014 I take the B12 nasal spray once a week it's not bad and keeps my energy up. Just can't drink or eat anything an hr before or after but it works well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
