DEFINITELY looks good darlin. When did you have your last draw? I remember you doing a chart right?

Oh and if you didn't have anything low in those labs I would think once every two years is excellent =)

I just had my 3 years out labs taken last month and I was not informed to stop taking any vitamins.

They all came back normal, they were done at my local wls surgeon office, he specialize in the VSG.

Cindy- your B12 level on your labs was amazing. I see no sign that you need to supplement your Bs more than what you get in your multi based on your labs.

Now, the Bs are water-soluable so nothing bad will happen to you if you supplement with them when you don't need to. But why make expensive pee when you can use that money for something else?

expesive pees!!!! Too funny.

Those labs were a year and a half ago, so I will be getting new labs tomorrow, I am learning soooooooooo much today! I hope my B's are still nice and high so I don't have to buy anymore to supplement.

Thanks Mac.

I feel kind of foolish, but do we really need sublingual B-12? I have always taken regular pill form. I thought that we were ok with that since we absorb everything?

Nice to see you back, Cindy!

A minority of VSGers have issues with B12. But I don't think we must take it sublingually. We have all our intestines.
