 So my 2 month labs were a methylmalonic acid and vitamin b1. My b1 is not back yet but today I got my methylmalonic acid and it was 133. Normal lab result is 87-318. I am taking 2500 mcg three times a week. Any one out there no if this result is ok? Kelly?

If it's in the reference range listed on the lab report, it's probably OK.  I'm not really familiar with that test, I had to look it up.  Do you know why they ordered it?  I assume you mean you are taking 2500 mcg B12 three times a week, but why did you get the methylmalonic acid checked instead of just getting a B12 level?

And why did you just get these two labs done?

Not sure why this test was ordered? It is not one of the usual tests after RNY. Did you have other labs done? Seems like alot is missing.
But like Kelly said if the result is in the reference range then it is probably ok.

the doc said that this test is more accurate to see were my b12 was? My 1 month labs were a CBC and CMP, which were normal. My 2 month was this test and thiamine, and my 3 month is CBC,CMP,serum iron,TSH,T4,Thiamine,methylmalonic acid, PTH,Vit D.

The doc did say with the methylmalonic acid i could take at any time even if i had my b12 already and it wouldnt effect the test, that it was somehow like how  the Hemoglobin A1C checkes glucose?
