Vitamin B12 Quiz
By the way, have you had labs done since your surgery? It's about time to get them done. And I think it's especially important for you to get them done since you started out at a disadvantage in terms of getting nutritional advice from your surgeon.

Why are you waiting until you have an iron deficiency to supplement? According to the ASMBS we all need to be taking iron, and if yours is borderline, why not address it now because it gets too low and you are tired and weak feeling all the time and dizzy and have headaches and are covered with bruises? Wouldn't it make more sense to start supplementing now? Or does that just make sense in my head?
You probably could take too much B12 but it would have to be a big amount. what was your B12 level when you had labs done?

Doc didnt give me a copy of results...I know they were sent to my PCP and I see her next week...will ask her for a copy!! I would LOVE to have just a lil bit more energy....just started a part time job and with 4 kids....ughh. What type and how much iron should I take? my daily multi has iron in it and i take one of those twice a day. I know that I should take carbonyl iron cuz we absorb it the best and ferrous sulfate can constipate us. I am pretty sure the range is 18-27mg daily....I am getting 18 in my multi. THanks for all your help...You're great!! :)
