B12 deficiency

I will be getting b12 injections now so maybe I will start to feel better and not sleep my life away. Plus found out I am clear of any kind of uterin cancers and my period being all crazy has to do with hormones. 

Were you taking a B-12 supplement as part of your vitamin regimen? Just curious if you were and still am deficient.  Part of my regimen is 500 mcg of B-12 per day. (I found a gummy variety that I take)

My doctor told me today that the over the counter is not doing it for me 

Good to know.  I hope you get better soon, and eventually take supplements on your own again.

FYI, I just read about a study showing patients on PPIs are at a much higher risk of B12 deficiency.  Since most VSG patients start on a PPI, you'll want to keep a close eye on your levels.  Many patients take sublingual B12 so they don't have to worry about reduced absorbtion in the stomach.

I am on a PPI. My doctor ok'ed the gummy's, but I have my first labs coming up soon, so we'll see how my levels are then. My specific multi-vitamin, which is a regular tablet has good B-12 content, too, so hopefully it will all be well. 

If you are chewing these gummies, they may not be doing what you need.  B12 requires a particular "intrinsic factor" which is eliminated when we do an RNY;  that is why we must take either sublingual tabs or B12 shots.  Have you had your B12 levels checked for absorbtion??
 

She had VSG not RNY. She may be ok just chewing the gummies

That's what I get for just skimming the posts!
