B12 SHOTS

[PEPPEREDMONDSON]

does anyone know of any doctors who give B12 shots in the baltimore, maryland or surrounding counties?

[drduenas]

Does the vitamin B12 shots interfere with sleep?  Meaning,..difficult to go to sleep.

[theasiandiva]

Just out of curiousity (and has nothing to do with this subject) but are you from Guam? The name Duenas is a rare name and is usually a Guamanian name so just wondering. If so, Hafa Adai!

[calqt23]

Dr. Gupta in Greenbelt, Maryland gives the shot. It is $65 and you go every three weeks. You also get the appetite suppressent. It can get very crowded in there for first timers. After you go once, you just make your appointments and it goes pretty quickly.   I posted his number on here somewhere.

[clerkk79]

WOW...$65.00... I wish my Doctor only charged that much.

[Happygoluckyy]

I think that $65.00 for the shot (LIPO-Bis what it is called, not the B-12 shot)and a appetite suppresent is very expensive.

The Dr. that I go to in California, not Hollywood or Beverly Hills, charges $10.00 for 1 week and $15.00 for two weeks for the shots and you have the option of getting the coctail, which includes vitamin B-6 and B-12.  Along with (appetite suppresents, fat burners, a carb blocker, water pills, and a B-12 shot starting at $25.00 for the package) with Xenical optional and extra (about $5.00 extra).  You guys have to call around and get some prices before going to one place and paying all that money.

[PEPPEREDMONDSON]

thank u, for the info. I didn't see the number listed, but I will try to find the number in the phonebook. have you been going to him or her long & have you seen results?

[calqt23]

The $65.00 covers a three week period.  The number for Dr. Gupta is 301-345-7885.  The shot will last for three weeks and so will the suppressants.  It works really well, so I hope that you will be happy with your results.

Does anyone know of a Dr. in the Georgia area that gives the B12 shots?

[PEPPEREDMONDSON]

Thanks for all the info you provided. If you don't mind could u answer a few questions. How do u feel after? Do the pills make u jumpy or any of those other side-effects? How much have u lost & how long did it take? Is the doctor nice?

[calqt23]

Hi! I am sorry to just be getting back to you! I haven't been on the site in a while.  I took the pill for three weeks without any effects and I lost 10 pounds without doing anything! No exercise at all.  When I took them before I exercised and lost more in that amount of time, but I just didn't want to exercise, so I didn't.  I am now on my second three weeks. The first three weeks I was not hungry at all and I had to remind myself to eat. I got lightheaded once and I realized that I hadn't eaten in two days! I ate something and I was fine. This time I am noticing that I have a slight appetite, so I don't go for days without eating! This time around I am starting to feel a bit jumpy.  I don't know if it is because I have been on it for a while and my body has adjusted so the dosage isn't enough or what.  I haven't gained back any of the weight and I have now lost even more, I only weigh when I go to the doctors office so I don't know how much exactly, but I can fit into things that wouldn't even go over my hips four weeks ago.  So, in short, first three weeks no issues except forgetting to eat. Second three weeks, still working, have a slight appetite, but feeling a little jumpy. Not much, but just a nervous kind of feeling. I got into a fight with my boyfriend this passed weekend and we haven't made up, so that may also have something to do with the jitters!  Hope this helps!

[pooh74]

Your boyfriend probably is jealous you lost weight and now he don't want anyone looking at you.  So you will be alright.  My mother and I have been considering the B-12 shot and we are very excited.  My mother of course is fly by herself, but we both are blessed with her mother's my grandmother's hips.  So wish us luck.

[LindaS]

Wow - this is fascinating to me to hear about B12, diet, and everything else.  I have a B12 deficiency and was diagnosed about 15 years ago.  I get shots every 3 weeks to try and keep my level up.  I am not seeing anywhere in the posts that anyone has been diagnosed with low B12.  It just sort of freaks me out since it sounds like some are giving themselve shots without med. supervision, and not knowing that they have a B12 deficiency. B12 levels need to be monitored.

[senoritadoodaa]

does anyone know of any doctors who give B12 shots in the Philadelphia, pa or surrounding counties?

[sugarbaby50]

Thanks for telling us about Dr Renuka Gupta in Greenbelt, MD.  I am going next thursday.  Can anyone tell me what to expect on my first visit.  How much weight can I lose?  How often do you have to go?  What does the diet program look like can you eat a certain amount of calories.  Please share thanks for your help

[Bossy24]

Hello,

I have an appointment with Dr Renuka Gupta on this coming Wed.  I am looking forward to it.  Could someone tell me what goes on in the first visit?  How much weight can I expect to lose on the first time around. I am 5"5 and 175lbs, and I need to lose about 20lbs. I want to be able to fit in a swim suit by the end of the summer, do you think it is possible

[ms reid]

For the person going to visit Dr. Gupta.....For your first visit you will get weighed and talk about your weight loss goals.  They will give you a diet to follow.  So far, I've lost about 27lbs., and to be honest I didn't always stick to the diet exactly.  So, if you do I'm sure you'll lose the weight.

Good Luck!!!

[sugarbaby50]

I went to the doctor in Greenbelt today.  Got my weight taken
and bp taken and the shot.  I received this diet plan but there
isn't anything I like on it.  Help  What do you eat ?????

[sugarbaby50]

Dr. Gupta gives the shot without the medication for 55.50.

[angeliamona]

does anyone know of a doctor that give the b-12 shot for weight loss with an appetite surpressent, in the new york city area?

[Ms Ann]

In Annandale, Virginia you can see Dr. Hsiao (pronounced Shaw), $65.00.  He is very thorough.  He doesn't give you a diet but give you calorie sheets and tells you how much to work out each day based on your weight.

In Greenbelt, Maryland you can see Dr. Renuka Gupta (but you won't actually see her you'll see her staff).

[Catherine23]

Well i just went to her last week and got the B-12 shot and the diet pills. It wasn't anything on the list that i would have cared for but thats ok. See we go to her to help us because we cant stop eating the foods we like. I figure if this is going to help me be healthier then why not.

[webfirm]

What is the Dr. Hsiao 's full name and did he do the shot too?
can you give me his information.

Thank you

Wendy

I recently relocated to Milwaukee, WI from the Washington, DC area. I was working with Dr. Gupta and getting B-12 shots. Does anyone know of a doctor in the Milwaukee or surrounding area that administers B-12 shots for dietary reasons?

[katzkitty]

Dr. Gupta has a location in IL
will give you the link...
He is mostly in IL but has some northern IL like Arlington Heights.  Maybe they can refer you to one in WI since we are so close.....

good luck....

[ScorpianPrincess]

I just relocated to Woodbridge, VA and would like to find a doctor that also gives the B-12 shots with the appetite suppressent.  I used to go to Dr. Gupta and it really does work.  I just don't want to have to drive to Greenbelt, MD if there is someone else locally in VA that can do the same thing hopefully no more than $65.  Does anyone have this information?

Thanks,

Sherrie  

[islandgurl1020]

Dr Santayo Lopez does in Woodbridge. He's off Old Bridge Rd. He also does the whole appetite suppressant thing.

[camcam492]

does anyone know if the b12 shots can cause hair loss.

[moush4me]

I found a medspa in Manassas who also offers the b12 and liptropic shots together, I called and she gave me a ballpark of $125 or 150 the first time which includes I think the shot, and the blood work, exam ect...and I think $50 each time you come in...not sure about that exactly it was a long time ago. Just thought I'd share, I didnt go because I'm still looking around

[dropthapounds]

I have been doing the shot and supplement for over 3 weeks and I've lost 25 pounds.  The guy at my parking garage even told me that I look different today.  Even though I'm not doing it for glamour, it feels great to receive so many compliments.  I am excited and movtivated to now go through my second three week phase on this plan.  It definitely works.

[Nikki1220]

[ACheeky1]

Hi,

I just came back from myweigtdr in rockville, md. does anyone have info about them? They are professional and in a nice office, but they are also very expensive. First visit is $199. Second visit you sign up for a plan which ranges from $149, $239 and $399 a month. You have to give a written 30 day  notice to terminate. They bill in 3 month increments.
I use to go to Dr. Gupta,  but I've moved. I considering myweightdr and doctrim. Any feedback would be helpful.
Thanks

[capri668]

I started going to Dr. Gupta in May of 2008 up until the end of july i lost 33lbs. The b12 shot works i went for a 36 in pants to a 30 and from a 36 in skirts to a 26 my body is funny that way.  I have not been in a month because my money got funny, but i am making appt. for myself and a good friend of my' s for friday sept.5,08. this time i am gonna stick with it. i think i gained some weigt back but not that much. it works quick exercise speeds it up just a little a day.

[stellium]

There is a women-only gym in Pasadena (south of Baltimore, Anne Arundel co.) called Fitsense, and there is a nurse practitioner there who administers B12 shots for $10.  That's for members or non-members.  I'm not sure about the exact contents of the shot, but if you want appetite suppressants the cost is more.  I don't know the phone # off hand, but I suggest this as a more affordable option if you are interested in the shot.  

[yvette1106]

The Dr is good. However, the visits ARE pricey! I've gone off and on and you do indeed lose weight and the wait time isn't long. The only thing is once you stop going, its easy to gain your weight back +.
The appetite suppressant is called phentramine (phentermine) (you can purchase it online) or the natural name is Hoodia (that can be purchased online or at a health store).
Does anyone know where these visits are cheaper?

Yvette, Lanham MD

[MissLizzy]

Wow, I just posted on how I was so upset about gaining weight from Zoloft.  I am going to try out the B-12 shots in addition to what I already do (work out 4-6 days/wk and focus on lean proteins, less(complex) carbohydrates, and lots of veggies).

I am going to do some research in the New Jersey area, but does anyone know a place off of the top of their head?
Thanks!

[Frances458]

did the pills give you/anyone constipation? they only prescribed me the 15mg, they always tell me that Im not "THAT" overweight.HA what a joke!

[carmelcat]

How long have you been going to Dr. Gupta?

[BelieveIt]

The B12 shots DEFINITELY works!!!!!!!!  I went to Dr. Gupkta weighing 239 pounds and I loss 59 pounds in 4-5 months.  My goal weight of 180 pounds sure looked GREAT on me!!!  I have to admit; I did monitor my eating habits, detoxed my system and ate lots of fiber (Raisin Bran Cereal) with very little to NO exercise.  IT WORKS but you must be committed and diligent in trying to monitoring your eating habits.  If you're skeptical, don't be you have nothing to loss except weight.  

Oh in addition, I didn't take the appetite suppressants, although they're helpful initially, I didn't want to continue with the pills.

[dresnoone]

This past Thanksgiving I saw my cousin who was referred to DR. Gupta he lost 65lbs. in 3 months. I wsa absolutely sure he was on something but he gave me the number and so I googled it and this is what I found. He said the visits are $70 and come with the shot and suppresants.

For those who have done this before because he didn't go into detail. What is the initial visit like? Should I talk with my regular physician first? What type of diet are you provided with? If you've ever stopped the shot do you gain the weight back quickly or how do you keep it off? Are you energized? Do you have to schedule a routine for meals, breakfast at 7AM, lunch at 12Noon, Dinner before 7:30PM?

According to my physician, I'm obese beacuse I'm 5'2" weighing 172, I need to weigh 130 at my height, which is my pre-pregnancy weight minus all the fried foods and bad habits. I've tried other diets but they either have you detoxing for longer than a weekend, stomach cramped or angry from hunger.

[sandyhot]

Well I just found out they have office in Rockville also and I can give the number if you want

[mspharmacist2b]

I've been going to Dr. Gupta in Greenbelt - Maryland off and on for years. I recently started going back (12/18/2008). I lost 9 pounds in 5 days. She charges $70 dollars per visit (every 3 weeks). When I first started going - all of her patients were required to bring in blood work results from your primary care psychian. I had not been in 2 years and during my visit - the nurse did not ask me for blood work OR take my pressure. I was a little disappointed. Anyhow, the B12 shot does work and the phentermine will suppress your appetite. However, you must learn how to develop good eating habits or the weight will return once you stop the program.

[determined09]

I would like to say from previous experience the B12 shot and the appetite suppressant do work. My only concern about Dr. Guptas office is they do not ask for any ID on your visits and I can't get an answer from anyone in her office on why not.

[daddysgurl_36]

I took a B12 shot yesterday (01/08/09) and didn't feel any changes.  Today although I do have a lot more energy that normally!!  I work out 3 to 4 times a week!!  I live in the Alexandria, Va area.  I went to a Dr. Recommended by a friend and was skeptical!!  I think I am going to try Dr Gupta, I have had other friends to go to him and lose the weight but they would gain it back and I now know why!!  My problem it getting the weight off; once its off I can keep it off!!  I am 5 '2 181, I am obese!!  Mostley in the stomach and thigh area!! I will be back in a month with any results good or bad.  Daddys

[toyin60]

be careful i took the b12 shots with dr beal in dc i lots a lot of weight about 80lbs but became pregant with twins now i am am going to dr gupta in greenbelt i just started it has not been three weeks yet

[toyin60]

anyone who do a  weight reduction  program   if you donot maintain the weight it  comes back faster my friend did the lap band she lost but less then a year she started   gain back women fell to realize birth control tubes tied calls weight gain

[Ms_Phatty]

I begin my initial vist to Dr. Gupta today. My approximate weight is around 205, but I'm 5'7. I would love to get back down to about 170-180. We'll see what happens, and I'll keep you posted!!!!

[daddysgurl_36]

Ok, i have notice that I have lost some weight...it has been exactly a week!!  I need I bought a  dress back in November that stopped right at my boobs when I tried in on...Last night I tried it on and that sucker fit with some room!  YIPEEE!!!!  I am still hungry.but I am working out and I am watching what I eat. I need something to suppress the appetite, so my second shot will be with Dr Gupta at the end of this month!! I will keep you posted!!  

[sau520]

Hello everyone

I am currently new to this site. I have been reading the stories and comments that you guys have  entered. Well I recently started taking the B-12  & the Lipoden shot. But this is not working for me. Infact instead of me losing I am actually gaining weight. I exercise and I watch everything I eat. This will be my 2nd weeks going to the Doctor. Should any of these shots make you gain weight?

[toyin60]

are you doing a calorie count and you canot eat after 6pm too much exercise could be causing muscles that happen me once should try more of walking and riding bike good luck i am going to my second appointment on wed with dr gupta

[toyin60]

just a  comment on the id at dr gupta none of the weight doctor offic es ask for id  dr bealle in dc  my weight dr in rockville  but by now my weight doctor may   they change because the price has really went up

[VVbelair]

To everyone who went to Dr. Gupta: It does work but her office/approach is a little un professional. I started going to this place in Columbia called Allcare of MD http://www.allcareofmd.com/. they do the blood work before you get the shots, andthe Dr. goes over your records.
Also, for those that have been going to Dr. Gupta, is it possible to get a copy of the diet sheet? Thanks!

[toyin60]

you would  think that was the purpose of the blood work to done to find out  c what the body is lacking of and to set a diet menu by that  because i know dr beale in dc was  
i know it is 1 0z meat a day 8 oz of skim milk or yogut a day 64 oz of water 10 min walk a day 2 fruits a day  sad  but i suppose to be on the diet  i lose 25lbs so far if i can find the paper i let you know the rest good luck
just remember no sugar no alcoho no soda ext diet no fried foods

[boo8]

[tassiduous]

Does anyone have a copy of the diet plan sheet that Dr. Gupta provides during visits? As a patient I dont feel like I should have to make the costly visit to her again just because I lost the diet sheet. Is anyone willing to share?

[ser05]

How was your experience at All Care of Md? Did you have to make an appointment? How much did they charge?

[Wanit]

I live in Guam, I really want to lose weight. but I don't know who can help me. I exercise and watch what I eat but don't lose any weight. I am always tired. I work 13 hours a day then go home and sleep cause I am tired. I know if I lost weight I would not be so tired. i was over weight before and I took pills from a doctor, I lost 150 lbs in 2 months. but I can't find the pills anymore. I have considered the lap-band, but a little scared. Can anyone help me? My e-mail is ***@****

[tinton]

im interested in the b12 injections is there a practice in the richmond va area?
