3mth Labs???

Is anyone not getting 3 mth labs done? I called my doctors office today to see what time I needed to go to lab tomorrow before my appt and I was told they only do 1mth,6mth & then every year... I could've sworn that we are supposed to get it done at 3mths too.. We are military so everything is in one building, so that's not an issue.. Just wondering if anyone else was not getting them drawn too?

My surgeon's office has not done any bloodwork since I left the hospital and they will not be until my 6 month visit. My pcp did bloodwork about a month after my surgery I was getting leg cramps and thought I might be low on potassium but it was ok. Of course my PCP does not check for everything the wls surgeon will. Gloria

hi april, my doc does 3, 6, and the 1 yr labs, i just had my 3 mth labs done and my iro was a little on the low side, everything else was ok good luck on you journey! marlena

My surgeon requires bloodwork at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. I did not need to get bloodwork at 1 month, however. I guess each doctor is a little different. Good luck! Lisa

I just met with my dr for my 3 month check up and i had lab work done. He also tested the strength in my arms and legs. he said that we will burn muscle as well as fat. He said I was doing fine though.

I just had my 3 month and was told that we will do them at my next appointment wich will be my sixth month

My doctor does bloodwork at 3 months out. I just had it done this week and they took 6 viles of blood.

i had labs done at: 2weeks 6weeks 3months and I will have labs done at: 6months 12months 18months 24months then yearly after that

I haven't had any labs since pre-op and my surgeon says that he will not order any until I am 1 year out. That is weird that he is so confident in his program. I was thinking of going to my PCP and requesting them from him. Another thing about my surgeon, I had a two week follow-up, then a six week follow-up and then my next follow-up is in March at 6 months and then I will go again at 1 year.

My surgeon does labs at 6months and 1 year, then annually after that unless there is a problem.
