Short bowel Syndrome

Hi, my husband recently just got surgery in his small intestine where the doctor need to cut his small intestine until it is very short around 80-85cm. Currently he is still recovering from the surgery, but he has a lot of symptoms including feeling tired, and unable to walk, always feeling full and a lot of other symtomps. His hb level is still very low at 12, he loses a lot of his blood during the surgey. He's infection in the liver and the blood is still very high. When i try to find information about his condition, most of the information will say that people with the same condition will suffer from b12 deficiancy, but when his blood test come out his b12 level is incredibly high > 2000. The doctor did not mention anything about the b12, i think because he expect it to be low but it is actually incredibly high which i read somewhere maybe an indication of liver or kidney disease. Any other member has expirienced the same condition?
