B12 Question

Thanks Nalani Does your surgeon just prefer injections over subligual?

Nonna, I find the responses here to this question very interesting as the different surgeons vary. My surgeon makes his RNY patients get monthly B-12 shots because he explained that our bodies simply do not absorb the B-12 vitamin by mouth. Not in pill form or under the tongue. He says that the only way to get the benefits of the B-12 vitamin is a shot directly into the muscle. I wish I could take an additional supplement because I can feel towards the end of the month my energy level is low. Sorry! Kelli

Thanks Kelli, that IS interesting. It was my understanding that subligual is effective too, but I have not done any research...will do though. Thanks again, ~Nonna
