xochtlem 54 Posted March 12, 2016 Has anyone used Lipo- or Adenosine B12 injections post-op to help with the weight loss/fatigue? Did you feel like they boosted weight loss and your energy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaisyAmy 561 Posted March 12, 2016 I've been getting B12 shots (not sure what kind?). I feel good, but I don't know any different, because I've been getting them all along. I'm a slow, steady loser, so I wouldn't say it's helping much with weight loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amelie2016 116 Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) Is "Lipo- or Adenosine B12" considered a B-Complex Lipotropic? If not try one of the B Complex Lipotropics, see how that makes you feel. =) A minute clinic or anylabtestnow should have them for around 25$. And for some reason, you can get it w/o an Rx. But you can't buy the vials and inject yourself w/o an Rx, unless of course it's for your pet. O.o Don't get me started. You should be able to taste it in your sinuses if you've had a good shot, and it should be in the glutes. Some places are scaling back their dose and just giving it in the arm. I'd ask how they do it. Any nurses or anyone please chime in if you know why please. =) To get through lots of adipose tissue you just need a longer needle to hit muscle.

xochtlem 54 Posted March 13, 2016 Yeah, these are the lipotropic shots. The weight loss place I used to go to does them, and when I called to ask if they had a program just for the shots, the office mgr suggested I use the place they get theirs from - b12shots.com. They have a subscription that's a lot cheaper than the $25/shot at the doc's office. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have a subscription that's a lot cheaper than the $25/shot at the doc's office. They did work for me when I injected myself, and I did lose weight. However I haven't tried them since I had VSG surgery. The law, so um, I ordered some from a contact I had. I loved their Vitamin. But YES, they did help me. I could taste it after an injection, and I did lose weight and have more energy. My vials were very dark orange or reddish. 25$ for one injection now is just too much, especially now that they've cut back their dosage and I didn't feel a thing last time I tried them. So it's on principle for me now, not to give them my business. On Body Building forums I've read those guys talk about different labs and their products and how they differ in getting them energy. I think mine was from Sun Labs last time I injected them. Body Building forums, I'd just ask there too. They will know a lot, that of course they have to "get for their pets" in the USA. *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
