Thanks

Your surgeon probably would have a better recommendation than forum members, especially if you have already had your baseline lab work done. He or she would be able to tell you a proper dose for your current levels.

The ASMBS recommends 350 to 500 mcg daily sublingual or 1000 mcg by injection once a month, unless your labs show you need more. Many people do need more, though.

My dietician wants me taking one sublingual every day.
