Default Vitamin Question

I am placing an order with Bariatric Advantage for my vitamins today. I want to start taking them a couple of months before surgery to get used to it. My question is how often to you take B-12? I am ordering the sub-lingual and I thought this was only taken once a week, but on their website it calculates taking it daily. I don't want to spend the extra money if I only have to take it once a week.

My doc said to take subligual daily as well. I prefer to take the injections once a month (no more than once every three weeks).

Hope you get your answer!

I was taking it once a week, but my body kept holding onto it, so I had extremely high levels...go figure...so now I wait and do it every other week...sometimes 2 weeks in between. I still have the original bottle I got at Trader Joe's for $5.99
