Thanks, I can google!

Looking for a recommendation from someone who actually purchased from a site or store.

I have purchased Vitamin B12 vial online from eBay.  I use 27.5 gauge syringes that are available at most drugstores OTC.  Ask the pharmacist, because where I live, they keep them behind the counter. 

I have never had an issue with vitamin B12 from giving myself 1 to 2  1.0ml injections monthly. I have also purchased a vial from Walmart, which lasted 13 months, but they only sell individual single-use vials now where I live.  Again, you will have to ask the pharmacist for them.

I have purchased many things, including antibiotics from

alldaychemist.com .


I primarily use it to purchase RetinA micro and our anti biotics supply as it is much cheaper. They do have b12 shots but i have not yet purchased them from there. However, i have no hesitations recommending them as everything i have purchased/used from them has been top notch. I also purchased some vaniqa from there.


Shipping is a flat fee of 25$ from INdia, regardless of how much you buy, so either do a group order or purchase a lot of stuff.

Additionally, as a precation , i recommend using a disposable visa gift card, or changing your card number after your purchase, jsut a precaution, i have never had problems but i always do this when ordering online form international places.

your doc gives a Rx and the pharmacy sells you a vile for a years supply and a dozen needles for about 10 dollars. after insurance copay.

 That's nice if you have insurance and doctor. I have neither at the moment.

I have no insurance either, My Rx cost for the B12 is a little over $15.00 (6 mo supply) and the needles are between .30 and .60 each (depending on the type). This is at a local small pharmacy known for being spendy.

If Dr. S will write for you, they are way cheapo at Costco, even w/o insurance. If he will not write for you, places we have used:



www.calvetsupply.com for veterinary B COMPLEX. This is fine, made by same labs as B12. The only warnings I'd give is that, being many B-vites, it's more yellow than red, and it stinks like B-vites. It has a dash of alcohol, so it stings just for a second and not bad.



Then, while you're working on getting rx for the real B12, your B6 can climb over time.



So then, some of the others use www.b12-shot.com It's in Canada, more $ than costco, but no Rx needed. Then you can mix 'n match. We were using 1cc B12 + 1/2 cc B-plex until my PCP caught up with modern times and writes for weekly for us.

ETA: syringes. sometimes Calvet hgas them, but I often get a better price at www.allegromedical.com I get 25g 3ml 1". You don't need 3ml, but they are usually cheaper than 1ml, got figure. Just the barrel size, so no big deal

P.S.  My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.
