Side Effect of RNY

Alan,

??????Quick!!?????

Are You taking B-12 and B-1 supplements?

And, are you taking the B-12 as an injection or as a sub-lingual?

Just taking it in a pill form WON"T absorb.

The B-1 will, but NOT the B-12. If you’ve had an RNY Gastric Bypass you can eat handfuls of the pills And not get enough.

The side effect is Neuropathy in the extremities. And Pernicious Anemia… Once the nerve damage is done, No real fixing it. B-12 supplementation can stop it from getting worse. Does your Doc have you on B-12 and B-1 supplements?

Probably, but just in case….thought I’d ask. My doc has me on Multi-vitamin, B-1, Folic Acid, Along with B-12 injections, as well as some calcium and iron.

Just making a quick check, particularly about it Not being absorbed … Just thought I’d throw that out… Best Wishes- Dx
