What Bloodwork is Needed at 3-mo Checkup?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved in Mexico, so I don't have a bariatric doctor stateside. I'm going to my first local doctor appt this month so I can get bloodwork done. My doc was never very supportive, so I'm looking forward to surprising him with 45 lbs down in 3 months! (Then I think I'll switch doctors, just CUZ.)

I know I need to check B-12 level, but can someone advise me what what exactly I need to request be checked, bloodwork or otherwise? Thanx!

My doctor checked Protein levels, Vitamin D, b vitamins...can't remember everything else. There was a lot of stuff checked on my sheet. :)

My dr also checks Iron, zinc, Vitamin A, potassium, chloride,calcium, and sodium, and a few more but can't think of all of them.

When did you get your levels checked? I am 12 weeks out and just wondering when this should be checked.

I get certain blood work checked every month but my dr makes sure all Vitamins are checked every 3 months.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
