Has anyone else experienced this?

I was told to take B 12 post op, 500 mcg/day. I did that. I saw my pcp at about 2 1/2 months post op due to feeling no energy. She ordered a bunch of lab work, except for my tsh level (due to a different issue)and everything came back normal except for the B 12, which was too high. She told me to stop the B12 until I see the surgeon next week.

I looked up what I could and apparently B12 is Water soluble, and any excess would be excreted in urine. An elevated B12 level is pretty rare. Has it happened to anybody else? It can be a symptom of other problems, like liver or kidney issues and things like that.

It's been on my mind...

I'm not sure if it helps you at all, but I'm a year out and had my blood panel done and everything is right where it is supposed to be. I haven't taken any of the B12 I was supposed to and I take Gummy Vitamins instead of regular Vitamins. It seems more probable that the supplement you've been taking elevated your levels than that anything else is wrong with you. Fingers crossed the resolution is that simple!

my B12 levels have been high. my first step was to just take them on weekdays and when that didn't bring the levels down I went to every other day and no weekends. now I just don't take them anymore. I think I get enough for me through the multi vit.

Thanks. I'll be happy when I get more input from my surgeon next week.
