I'm going in for a check-up with my family doctor soon. He normally only does lab work for A1C, cholesterol, thyroid, CBC...just common stuff. I was wondering what are other good levels to have checked now that I'm banded (9 months post-op). What specific Vitamin levels, for example, should I ask him to check?

The only problem I'm having that makes me wonder if I'm vitamin deficient is because my hair is still falling out. There's a lot of new growth too, but it's still coming out in handful in the shower.

Thank you all!

When I had the surgery the doctor had like 20-30 different tests done. My own PCP tests for my vitamin levels. After I had the Band for about 8-10 months the surgeon did a lot of tests, too. If you think you have some deficiencies ask for those to be tested. They don't take too much for each test.
