My Vitamin B12 is >2000 (normal is 211-946). Does anyone know what side effects that could have?  I googled it, but I can't find a straight answer.

I had my first consult yesterday for a breast lift/implants and tummy tuck.  It was over $17,000!  I liked the doctor and will get another consult but I'm curious about how much others are paying.  I live in South Jersey and I know location makes a big

Can a drop in blood sugar without diarrhea be symptoms of dumping syndrome?  I think I had my first experience with dumping this week.

I am 3 months post op.  I've been very edgy for the past two months.  I've had a relatively easy time adapting to the changes in my eating habits and my weight loss is on track.  It is getting better and if possible I exercise when I start feeling this
