I do the shot once a month too. It is not hard to do at all and it is easier to take the load off my daily vitamins that has to go into my mouth..haha! Super simple, I am giving myself the shots once a month. The needle is super small and all you have to do is pinch up the fattiest place on your body and insert the needle once you make sure no air bubbles are in it and it's over in a jiff.

The B-12 injection is super easy (I used to give them to my husband) and the medication should be covered by your prescription plan. I am not a medical professional but from what I have heard it is pretty difficult to overdose on B-12. B-12 is a water soluable vitamin so according to what I have read the excess is excreted in one's urine.

Topic: B12
Hi! I'm having surgery next week and purchasing my vitamins today. I'm having an issue with the B12. The suggestion was to have 500mcg once a week or a 1000 ,mcg shot once a month. When I look at the the nutritional facts almost all the sublingual are 1000 mcg with a take once a day instructions. Isn't that too much? What do you guys take? Thanks!!!

Thanks Kristen I will check to see if he is on my plan. I hope to get a few more names to see if any of them are any closer to where I live or work. See you in a few weeks.

Insurance covered both mine and my husbands. If you have to self pay I think Dr. Peters in Pa and Dr. Stewart in Texas have pretty good self pay rates. And a lot of people go to Dr. Marchisini in Brazil or Dr. Ungston in Mexico. As I said in my earlier post there is a list of vetted DS surgeons on DSfacts.com .
