Twice since surgery? You'll be getting on for 8 months out!

Melissa - the normal seems to be bloodwork at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months and then annually thereafter.

I'd certainly want testing regularly - especially during the first year.

And don't bank on B12 shots. They're generally only given when people have shown an obvious problem with absorbing their B12 from the sublinguals.

I saw from your other thread that you've got a problem getting sufficient protein in. Have you been taking all your vitamins, B12 and calcium?
