  1. so much for hoping weightloss would make my blood draws easier (I've always had a hard time getting blood work drawn, iv's started etc). Had my usual phlebotomist this morning and she said my veins are the worst they've ever been. couldn't even finish the blood draw - didn't even get half the vials she needed. So back to the lab tomorrow morning. ugh

      i also have bad little veins, they roll and are very deep. i expected blood draw would be much easier after losing a lot of weight - didn't happen to me either sob sob - i also drink extra extra water before blood draw to possibly help - good luck - kathy

      I have terrible veins, and only one that is better for blood tests. I have to drink enormous amount of water before the draw. I always worry if my blood will come out. Need child size needles and at times butterfly needles. I wrote yesterday "I hate blood tests" as I ended up with the biggest bruise ever.

      My weight loss did not make any difference with blood draws.

      Hope yours went OK today!
