2 solid years without a B12 shot.

It’s been two solid years since I’ve had a b12 shot. I have no stomach because it was completely removed in 2022. The surgeon didn’t tell me much about what life would be like without the stomach, that I’d have to get these shots. The last one I had was in May of 2024. I know without a stomach that the system isn’t functioning the same as it once did. But I don’t plan on getting any shots in the future. It was a huge mistake as it was to listen to the doctor to get the surgery to have the stomach removed. I still regret doing it to this day. I harbor a great deal of anger and frustration over it. I was put into a corner and left with no choices. I remember going to see the surgeon and they suggested scheduling the surgery and my wife and I did it right then. Until that day- which was three weeks away- I wanted to cancel it. I threatened to cancel it several times but then everyone would be mad at me. I wanted to wait six or seven months and put it off for as long as I could. It changed my life. I’m scarred with a long scar on my chest and torso. I had a feeding tube I hated and completely refused to use. I’m a bad patient. It took a long time to heal and I wouldn’t want to do it again. If I had to do it again. I WOULD NOT!!!!

Live and learn I guess.
