Again please

At my next Dr appt I remembered to tell him about my RNY. The PA wasn't sure what tests I needed so he requested the following- he told me to check and see what else we'd need before they draw the blood on Tuesday. Is there anything I should add? B6 B12 CMP TSH- for my thyroid meds CBC Thank you!!! Holly

Holy Moly Stephanie, is that really what was posted as the labs we need drawn as WLS patients? I had my labs drawn at my PCM's office last week for my 6 month follow-up with my surgeon...they took 6 large vials of blood for what my surgeon requested and the technician said she was draining me. If I had ALL of those tests that you listed I'd need a blood transfusion These are the blood tests my surgeon requires, and my NUT added the last two: 1. CBC 2. IRON 3. IBC 4. CALCIUM 5. ALBUMIN 6. ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE 7. VITAMIN B-12 8. VITAMIN D (OH) 25 9. PARATHYROID (PTH) 10. VITAMIN D Hope this helps. Denise

Hey Denise: Your CBC (complete blood count) includes a entire plethra of test! Which is probably 80% of that list. It is broken down in all the sub categories so that we can track each individual level,each time our labs are drawn. Thanks

Thanks!!! That helps a lot!!! Holly
