I am 1 year out and have my routine labs to do. I work in a Dr's office and I was thinking of having some extra labs checked because I am depressed lately and energy is lower and I just feel "off". Any suggestions on what anyone elses Dr checked?

Deb, I got this list from someone on another message board I participate in. It might be considered overkill but I do believe I'll have all of this done next time. Not to be construed as medical advice, this list includes labs we have had performed as gastric bypass patients * 10231 - comprehensive metabolic profile (sodium, potassium, chloride, glucose,BUN, creatinine, calcium, total protein, albumin, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase) * 84134 - pre-albumin * 593 - LDH * 7600 - lipid profile (cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, chol/HDL ratio) * 10256 - (hep panel, includes ALT (SPGT) & GGT) * 718 - phosphorous - inorganic * 83735 - magnesium * 905 - uric acid * 945 - zinc * 7444 - thyroid panel (T3U, T4, FTI, TSH) * 367 - cortisol * 1759 - hemogram with platelets * 7573 - iron, TIBC, % sat * 457 - ferritin * 921 - vitamin A * 680 - D (25-hydroxy) * 4052 - vitamin B-1 (thiamin) * 84207 - vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine) * 7065 - B-12 & folate * 83970 - serum intact PTH DIAGNOSIS CODES: 269.2 hypovitaminosis 244.9 hypothryoidism 268 vitamin D deficiency 250.0 diabetes 401.9 hypertension 276.9 electrolyte and fluid disorders 579.8 calcium malabsorption 579.8 intestinal malabsorption 272.0 hypercholesterolemia 275.40 calcium deficiency 266.2 cyanocobalamin deficiency 280.9 iron-deficiency anemia 269.3 zinc deficiency 281.0 pernicious anemia 281.2 folate deficiency anemia 281.1 other B12 deficiency anemia 285.9 anemia, unspecified 579.3 surgical malabsorption My surgeon requires the following: CMP, CBC, Lipid Panel, Serum Iron, TIBC, Vitamin B-12, Folic Acid, Thiamin~whole blood (frozen) Hope this helps, Happy Anniversay!
