It's just blood tests as far as I know and your pcp shouldn't have a problem with ordering those.

Where are you in mo? I'm near Columbia and I was sleeved in mx as well.

I had the same doctors and they suggested that I just follow up with my regular PCP and have my Vitamin levels checked regularly for the first few years.

My PCP is fine with running my tests and doing follow up. If you don't have one just hunt for a PCP you can begin with.

just any family or internal medicine doc would be fine, just when you go to see them make sure they know you had the surgery so they can keep on top of the blood work etc... Mine said she wanted to see me 1month post-op for blood work. Good luck, you shouldn't have a problem.

My PCP moved a couple years ago so now I see a NP for all my appts. She can do everything a doctor can with ordering tests and such. Her visits are at the clinic and she knows me very well.

Maybe try one of these for your provider. By the way she told me I don't need any follow up labs till next Nov. I was very healthly before surgery so there was no need for earlier labs. Good Luck Linda

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
