Blood Test Post OP

When did most of your drs start testing your blood post op for vitamins etc.? I am 7 weeks post op but my surgeon has not done it at all yet?

im also 7weeks post op and I went to my primary doctor and told him i need my blood work done and he gave me a slip and i went and had it done,,I think you need to stay on top of your bloodwork,at least thats what im doing,,I would just go and get it done on your own if you have to,,ok?keep on losing ...god bless you ....ron in arizona

My doctor's nurse who does all his follow-up appointments said that the one and only time I _wouldn't_ have blood tests done at a follow-up was my 1 month post-op. So it looks like my 2 month, 6 month and 1 year follow-ups will be followed by a needle and some blood extraction. I personally can't wait to see my blood tests results. I've already seen my blood sugars go down, as I've slowly lowered my diabetes meds, so seeing other important things like lipids go down will be as rewarding as stepping on a scale once a week and seeing my steady weight loss.

My doctor does them at 3 months.

My surgeon does blood tests at 6 months post surgery. But, I have a primary doctor (mine is an endocrinologist) and he sees me every 3 months and does blood work each time.
