B-12 shots

Its been a year and 6 months I had gastric bypass surgery but I seem to be tired some days more then others I drink vitamins I sleep well but I am so draggy during the day I have changed my eatings like cut down on bread and starch pasta so on but lord I have to go to my car and have a nap my blood is fine so far i though have not had my b-12 shots in about 3 months now because my doc told me to stop them i really didnt need them any more every single month but today i am making an appt with my lab center to have the b-12 shots given to me for friday.

How's your iron?

Yup check your iron. I am about a year and a half out as well. Went to the doctor days ago..My B12 and everything else is fine.. iron is extremely low. I am always tiired..

well last time i had blood work done was about 5 months back it was a little low but not so much but now i think its really low so what do i eat and do then keep taking vitamins?

well i know for a fact that you need to keep taking your vitamins. Once you find out what to eat please let me know. Right now my doctor just put me on iron twice a day

I don't know who your doctor is but I was told that vitamins and B12 are a lifetime committment. Get your butt to the doctor and do a B12 if you feel this bad now whats down the road? Do not stop taking your vitamins its a bad choice.

I'd skip the B12 shot for NOW and ask for a full set of labs.  While it is very possible your b-12 is low, so could your b1, b6, b9, ferritin, tibc, hemaglobin, or hematicrit.  There are more things to consider besides b-12 when it comes to severe fatigue.

Go get a FULL blood panel.

Get your labs first then the shot. I made that mistake once and had my shot then the labs the next day, it threw everything off and they wouldn't have even known unless I told them that I had the shot the day before. They say get your blood work done before shots, or 2-3 weeks after a shot. 

wow I see thanks :)
