To check vitamin/mineral levels and whatever else....? And do you know what specifically was checked?

I have to go for my one month labs. Late cause nobody told me or put the orders in. Then again at 4 months

approx 3 months post op, then after that i will be every 4 months for a year, then yearly. all the usual stuff, just making sure i don't need to be supplemented. biggies are electrolytes (magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium, etc) and b Vitamins, folate, Iron, CBC, liver enzymes, liver function, thyroid function, etc.

Mine was 3mos, 6mos, 12mos. They checked for everything, including Vitamin deficiencies and cholesterol. I go again at 18 months just because I tend to be D-deficient.

I usually have some overlapping testing done because of other routine Dr visits. Today I'm going for more blood work for my endocrinologist (thyroid function and cholesterol). I have a yearly physical w/my PCP in October and am hoping he won't want more labs done, since he receives copies of all my test results. :-)

3 months, 6 months 1 year, and every year after that. Not sure what "panel" they call it but they check Proteins, hydration, albumin, cholesterol, minerals like B12, D3, Iron, calcium, etc.

I just found out our dr does bw at 6 mos. I feel like it should be done earlier. He said it's because everything needs to get evened out after surgery and sooner than that is not accurate.

I'm diabetic so I had bloodwork done in June. Surgery was in May. I'll have it done again in September. My NP does a standard panel and checks my HgA1C and my Vitamin D levels since i always seem to be deficient. Hopefully next time I get drawn my Vitamin D levels will be higher.

Three weeks for me. My surgeon and my nutritionist ordered the same tests

Three months for me, except for my B12, it's getting checked next week. I am severely depressed and my shrink wants my B12 checked because B12 deficiency can lead to depression. I'm already severe bipolar 1, don't need to add depression on top of my mania. My psychiatrist switched me from an antidepressant to Prozac. Prozac last longer in the system then the antidepressant I was on.

I think I got mine three weeks after.
