Get 2nd opinion: B12 isn't really the best thing for weight loss. I'd ask another physician to review what's been done by the physician who's been doing the injections.

Vitamin B12: Is not effective for weight loss. However anecdotal evidence suggest a boost in energy. It is water soluble hence less risk of adverse effect. If you feel terrible without it consider serum check for vit B12. if diet is vegetarian consider B12 treatment or if blood levels are low
