What tests were recommended/preformed on you at your 6 month (or so) follow up visit?
I was self-pay, so all of my tests come out of my pocket, UNLESS they can be recommended for other reasons in advance, and I forward the information to my doc.
I have an idea of a few tests, because my doc told me they were the standards, but I wonder if there are others that I should consider, if for no other reason than I may need them later for comparison, should something really go wrong.
I'm covered by an *** and this is what is ordered for their bariatric patients--I was self-pay because I didn't meet their BMI:
Albumin
Alkaline Phosphatase
BUN
Bilirubin
Blood Calcium
Chloride
