Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 My surgeon does his at 6 month's post op. I also discovered at that time that I was low in iron and beta carotine. All other stuff was good. Have your PCP do labs if you want Take care, Post-Op Blood Tests Quick question for my fellow Losers!... I'm 4 months out from surgery & was asking my surgeon at my check up the other day if it's time to check my iron/calcium, etc levels because I'm curious & he responded he doesn't usually order a panel until 1 year out...what do ya'all think about this? No need for blood testing so soon? Funny you guys are chatting about matching driver's license weights cuz it dawned on me the other day that lie just may not be a lie after a few more months!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 My surgeon does them at 1 year as well. But I had my PCM do them sooner. I wanted to know. Candi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 My doctor does bloodwork at 6 months..he waits until 6 months because he knows things will be out of wack until then. Then he does it again at a year. I think he does this just to keep an eye on the major stuff..... Mindi 277/173.5/125??
