Quick Question... I could ask my Dr. but my next call with him isnt until end of Feb, and I do not feel this is an emergency LOL

Does anybody know when they typically run labs? Is each Dr. Different? How do we know when they decide they are going to run labs and how often? LOL... I feel like i am almost at 3 months and its time for other things to happen that are different now that i am progressing along.

Any thoughts appreciated.

With my new insurance they told me the run them at 6months but since I am new to their program they are running mine now (I'm not even 3 months yet) they messed up and didnt tell me 2 of them had to be fasting even though I called to double check so I had to change my appointment with them so I can go back to the lab and get the last 2 tests done (B vites I think)

I had mine checked probably a month after surgery, then 3 months, then 6, and I'll have them checked again before my 1 year follow up.

I haven't even thought about labs yet. I'm just 6 weeks post-op. I'd like to see any improvements in bloodwork in about 3 months

They told me they will do them at 6 months, but I would feel better if they did them at 3 months, I'm hoping they will honor that request. I want to see if I am doing ok on Vitamins.

I had my labs done a week before my 3 month post-op appt so the Dr. would have the results. When I left that day the doctor gave me my lab orders for my 6 month appt. which I will have done a week in advance.

I just had my first post op appointment today and was told they will do blood work at 6 months, 1 year and then once yearly.

I did 1month, 3months, and just had 6month labs done.

I’m sure they’ll do them at 9 months, because my 6 months showed I was low on a few things.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
