How far out post op were you before you did your first set of labs?

Any one get totally shocked by the results?

First post op labs were at 3 months. Then 6, then 9. No surprises really, just pleased with the results from the Patches I'm using for my Vitamins. All levels were within normal ranges at both my 3 and 6 month post-op follow ups.

I am hoping mine will be fine as well.

At first I was concerned because I couldn't take my Vitamins. But now that I he switched me to capsules I am doing much better. Just anxious about it because I want to know how they look.

3 months as well. Low on Vitamin A, had to down my B12 to every other day, Protein was low but I was transitioning between stages and was not able to reach goals the few days prior to blood work. Otherwise looked good. Surgeon and PCP were pleased with results. I'm doing another round next week (1 month-ish later) so they can re-check everything.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
