Vitamin B12 Shot

Hi Friends, I went to my Primary Care Physician and got a Vitamin B12 shot and boy and I glad I did. I was getting depressed and the depression is gone, I have more energy and feel like my old self. I was told that anyone who has the RNY surgery should get one once a month and I plan on doing that. I also take a B12 under the tongue once a day. Go get one.....you will be glad you did! Hugs, Esther

Esther, if you don't mind me asking...how much did you pay for it? I'm thinking about asking my doctor for a refferal, I think it would work so much better for me.

Hi Chantal, I didn't pay anything, my insurance paid for it. You should get one, your insurance should pay for it because it is necessary with the RNY. I will tell you this.....it made a world of difference. Love ya, Esther

I'm going to my doctor in a couple of weeks...I'll ask then, but I don't think it was covered here.

If I had to pay for it, it would have been $15.00 which isn't too bad. Hugs, Esther

Oh wow, much cheaper than I was expecting! Thanks Esther!

One lady told me that her doctor gave her a prescription for Vitamin B12 shots that she got filled and gave the shots to herself. She said the needle is so small that you don't even feel it. You should ask your doctor about that if you could give yourself a shot. Hugs, Esther

I saw that! I don't think I could EVER give myself a shot I can't even ***** my finger with the glucometer...and I sell them!

I don't think I could give myself a shot either so I don't think that is an option for me. I will have to get someone in my family to give it to me. Hugs, Esther

I was all for getting the shot (hate pills period****il they told me I would have to give it to myself...Yikes I'm going to ask them again about getting it. I know its not a big deal to stick myself but I just don't know if I can do that LOL Glad your feeling so much better. I could use a little of that. I have an appt on Monday so we will see what they say. Rebecca
