Topic: Anyone doing the "Walk From Obesity" tomorrow?
The ASBS is putting on the 5k "Walk From Obesity" tomorrow in most cities. Is anyone walking it? I am. Wanted to last year, but, wasn't sure I was up to it. I know I am this year!

Kathy,
I am sure your mother was so proud of you your entire life, and as a mom, I can only imagine the joy she must feel that you have regained control over your health and body. Your memories of her will always bring you comfort. Thank you for sharing this memory with us.

Topic: RE: B-12 shots?
Laurie,
How much B12 do you take and what form? Shots? How often? Sublinguals? Also, what are your lab levels?
Do you know how your other B levels are? What about iron and such?
Remember, some doctors say only flintstone vitamins and Tums are needed.

Now Dr. Kathy - WOULD YOU PLEASE GO TEACH THAT TO OUR WL SURGEONS!!!!!
I'm so sick and tired of them telling me that my levels are "within normal"!!!! I still feel like CRAP, I still have symptoms of low levels and they don't care because I'm in the normal range!!
We need a book out that would be required reading for any surgeon who does wls, and this book needs to be written by US patients!!!!!
Hugs,
Laurie

Topic: RE: B-12 shots?
My levels have been good all along but I opted to do the shots just cuz I didn't want to have to remember it once/week as prescribed by my surgeon. I started doing it three times/week then every other day, then I just opted for the shot. I used to work in medicine so I know how to do my own shots. I just get a Rx for it and get syringes from my PCP and jab it into my leg monthly.
