MG1776 275 Posted February 20, 2018 Also noted: they recommend sublingual B12. It is a small pill, tastes good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dathvick 150 Posted February 21, 2018 I had surgery September 6th 2017 so I am 5 1/2 months post op. They recommended B12 shots once a month for me. I took the first shot and decided I didn't need any more. They said they were giving them to me to help me keep my energy up. I have never had a problem with energy level, even right after surgery. I had blood work done recently and my B12 level was 611 the normal range is 213 - 816 so I am normal even without any B12 supplements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SIPS in Seattle 345 Posted February 21, 2018 My doc has me doing 1000mcg shots once a week. I was so nervous giving myself a shot at first but it’s really not that bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
