How soon and how often should I get the b12 injection?

Julie

 

[j.u.s.t.l.i.z.]

3 months after op then every 3 months after that, diff providors have diff rules and some dont offer b12 at all which is pretty naff x

I am told that you should have your first B12 shot as soon as possible post op and thereafter at 12 weekly intervals. I am due for mine tomorrow am (along with having my bloods done). Last time I had the B12 ~ it hurt ! xx

[IlonaJ]

i got mine yesterday - 4 weeks after op. maureen (dietician) had said in the letter to the gp from 4 weeks out and every 12 weeks thereafter xxx

I had my first one in the hospital after my op then every 3 months and yes I have to agree it hurts! The injection itself isn't too bad but it aches like hell once it's done

Julie

I was given mine the day after my op in hospital and then one every 3 months.

 

[SARAH S]

I'm a bit confused

When I had my initial meeting they told me they would test for B12 deficiency and if neede I would then go on to medication............You all seem to have had the injection as a matter of routine

Perhaps I misunderstood:sigh:

Hi Sarah, im still waiting for my op,but was told by my surgeon that i would need jabs every 3 months for life.

 

[j.u.s.t.l.i.z.]

yes every 3 months for life is correct x
