Vitamin B12 Deficiency Anemia POST OP

So, he put you on B12 shots and gave  you  iron, but did he tell you to up your folic acid girlie?

I would like to look at your lab numbers, if you would share.  I am getting learned up a lot about anemia n setch lately :} 

what kind of iron  and did he tell you about the "iron rules" for optimum absorption?

Like to take it 2 hours (on either side) away from: 

Things with tannins (coffee, tea, wine, chocolate), beans, grains, whole eggs, dairy, calcium supplements (somehow my head thinks there is one more thing) ?

Was it your H&H that was low?  Or your ferritin?  or something in your iron saturation panel? 

People biohacking their iron problems would like to know,  if you would be willing to share!  :}

which are better, shots or sublingual or pills?

would it be wise to get a 'top up' shop before surgery for good measure?

That is really a lot of injections!

B12 deficiency is also known as Pernicious Anemia.

And more information!  And for those that asked... NO, my surgeon never told me to take B12.  EVER! :(

Vitamin B-12, or Cobalamin, is the largest and most complex vitamin currently known to man. A slight deficiency of vitamin B-12 can lead to anemia, fatigue, mania, and depression, while a long term deficiency can potentially cause permanent damage to the brain and central nervous system.

That is downright scary!!! :((((  I am 4 years post op... and have NEVER taken B12.  My internist told me two days ago when I was there that it is dangerously low.  He also prescribed iron pills.  No wonder I have no energy and I feel half dead most of the time.
