Vitamin B12

Hello, I'm just curious to find out how much Vitamin B12 you guys are taking a day? Right now I've got the 1000mcg sublingual from Bariatric Advantage. Now, I've had my surgery at UCLA and they had mandatory classes that had to be taken prior to surgery. One was on vitamins and we were told that this vitamin could be taken only once a week. However I hear many different things on people taking them once a day? I have my labs scheduled for January, but wanted to get your take on what you do. Thanks for any help with my confusion! Happy Holidays All!

I don't take B12. My surgeon told me all I need right now is my chewable vitamin once a day. As long as my bloodwork keeps coming back good I won't have to take anything extra. Every surgeon is different though and you should do what your's tells you since he knows you. Merry Christmas and God bless! Peggy B.

Your blood work will give them a better idea of how much you should be taking. My surgeon said take 500 daily or the 1000 every other day. But it's so true that every Dr. has a different way to go about things... makes me wonder sometimes... LOL Good Luck Ann

I also take this same b12 every day. I dont have my first blood work til february so til then i take 2 multivitamins 1 iron 2 calcium citrate 1 b12 1 biotin every day of my life.

Sounds like you take exactly what I'm taking. This is what we were told to take at UCLA. Except for the Biotin and taking the B12 once a week.

My PCP gives me a B12 shot in her office every month. DJ
