Another round of bloodwork...lookin good!



Recommended Posts

So I just got the results of my 12 month postop labs. My 6 month labs showed high Iron and Calcium so I discontinued those supplements. This time around my Iron was in the normal range but my Calcium was still slightly high. Probably from all the dairy I eat. The only other abnormality was that my folate was high. This can be an indication of low B12, but in this case my B12 is fine. My PCP just figures it's from what I'm eating plus the 400mcg in my multi and he's not concerned. And just for shits and giggles he threw in some hormone tests and I'm happy to report I am not yet menopausal! So looks like I'll just keep on my current supplements (1/2 dose Vitamin Code for Women, D3 5000iu 3x week and B12 500mcg sublingual 4xweek) and check bloodwork again in a year.

BTW, the tests we ran were CBC, metabolic panel, lipids, B12, Vitamin D, ferritin, folate, zinc, TSH, and FSH.

Wishing good health to all of you!

YAY!

I just had my 3 mths. Everything was normal but my B12 was high. I now take that once a week.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
