I went back to my pcp today for more information on the "Fatty Liver Disease" that I have. We talked along time. The B12 shots are for the fatty liver disease. She is also sending me to a gastroenterologist for more treatment of the disease.

Hmmm...I was diagnosed with fatty liver also but they didn't put my on B12 shots. How often do you have them and what's the dosage? Maybe I will have to be more vigilant about taking them.

The surgeon prescribed cyanocobalamin 1,000mcg inject monthly. The pcp gave me Nascobal nasal spay 1 spray one nostril 1x a week. It is cyanocobalamin 500mcg a week.

From what I have read the FLD makes us very tired and the B12 helps with energy. By the time I'm ready for the next shot I can't walk across the house. I've started using the spay this week. I was feeling like a toy that needed to be cracked up. I took the spray and in about an hours I felt better againl.

The gastoenterologist that she is sending me to is supposed to be very open minded. I'm hoping that he can tell me about a diet that is good for FLD. My insulin level was higher than its been, but my cholesterol was good. It seems the only way i'm getting myself to lose the weight is to have Protein shakes or bars for Breakfast and lunch and one meal for dinner. At least with the smaller stomach i'm not ready/can't eat everything in sight.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
