Now, tell me again... B12

Can you tell me which kind of B12 supplement I should be taking? Thanks, Belinda

Belinda, From everything I've read we should use a sublingual (sp?) B12.  Jan 

Yep, you want sublingual.  It's the kind that you hold under your tongue and let it disolve in your mouth.   Because you no longer have the Intrinsic Factor in your pouch, normal B12 pills can not be used by your body.  So the ones the dissolve in your mouth will be absorbed directly into your blood stream through your tongue and cheeks.

You can also get B-12 injections. Marie  341/171/150ish 

I know someone that had this surgery back in Spetember...she is now getting B12 shots and says its wonderful..but I forgot to ask if they hurt. My hsband says they do...although to get out of this slump...tired feeling...a little pain might not be too bad.  NO PAIN....NO LOSE ....lol

Thank You for your quick responses.  I haven't bought that kind yet and I am 7 mos. out.  I just bought the regular kind.  I must've absorbed it ok, because the blood work was satisfactory at 6 mos. post op.  I noticed I was running out and went to Meijer, but omg, there were so many kinds I was just overwhelmed.  Jeez, vitamins stump me, wth?  Anyways, thanks to you all.  I am hitting the Target pharmacy where my cousin is a Pharmacist, yep, got her degree this year from U of M.
