Sublingual B12

[Tiffykins 673]

Thoughts? Advice?

I never had to take it with the band, but now I have been reading everything, and going over the stuff the new surgeon gave me. . .

The psych I saw today had LapBand, she takes a no calorie sublingual B12.< /p>

The paperwork I have says that it will be suggested on a PRN basis. Who/what determines when it will be needed.

Your stomach produces Intrinsic Factor. With a smaller stomach you might not produce enough to absorb B12. In less than 1% of sleeved people we do not absorb enough B12 due to IF. If that happens, go to your local grocery store and purchase SL B12. Problem fixed.

This is diagnosed through labs.

My surgeon lists B12 as an optional supplements and said B12 deficiency is rare with the sleeves. Mine was fine the last time I had labs done so I don't take it.

I take a prescribed dose in a Rx pill called Folguard or ComBgen but it's because I have a genetic (MTHFR2+) predisposition to clotting and had bilateral pulmonary emboli a few years ago. It's used to keep my homocystine level <10. You should be fine.

How To Treat Vitamin B12 Deficiency Symptoms

Thank you! I just looked up causes of Hair loss and it said 4 months after major surgery, people experience hair loss. That is right when mine started with banding. I hope it's not just a fact for me that if I have surgery, I lose hair. I stocked up today on all the necessary Vitamins and supplements, but then again, I did that with banding and lost it anyway.

Check out this supplement ... I have 3 friends who SWEAR by it ... their hair has gotten thick, their nails are strong and their skin is softer ... I'm planning on ordering some to start taking once I'm on solid food ... I've taken his products and they are great ... you can also order them on HSN ... and shipping is FAST.

Guess I did something wrong ... sorry ... here you go

go to www.procapslabs.com, choose women's health and then select cutica.

Be sure to read the reviews. I know 3 people who swear by it. I use several other products of his and I really like them. I'll be getting some of the cutica too.
