When do you see your surgeon next?
I see my surgeon again the end of October......as to your other thread about blood work....I have not had blood work done since I was in the hospital. My surgeon says he will do it at 1 yr out. As long as I am able to take the vitamins and keep the protein down he says there is no reason for blood work til then. I am way up in Sackets Harbor and my surgeon is in Elmira which is a 3 hr drive one way for me. So, we brainstormed and decided that in October is a good appt and then again the end of April beginning of May for my 1 yr visit.

My next appointment is in November as well as my labs. I received my lab order at my last appointment in August. Since I will have my 3 month labs (diabetic) my PCP will review both sets of result as well. My hemoglobin has lowered since surgery so we will definitely be looking at my Iron levels.

I saw my doc one week out, then at three months and I think I go again at the six month point. I feel great so I don't have a problem with this, I have a hereditary form of anemia so he did call me a few times in the first couple of months till I could get in and see the hemotologist which I thought was wonderful. Have only had bloodwork once, will go again just before my sixth month checkup
