Checking Blood Levels

My surgeon was Dr. Fang. I have a 6 week post-op appt scheduled for 5/5. When do they take your blood levels? I would like a CBC to be taken at that appt just to see the difference 6 weeks makes, you know? So is 6 weeks when he does a CBC or is it 3 mos, 6 mos, what? I had pretty normal levels of blood pre-op, but my triglycerides were a bit high - due to fast foods. I was a fast food junkie. No more!

I'm not sure when they do check our counts. When you find out let me know please. Question for you, are your incision sites pretty clean, I mean did the surgeon do a good job?

Dr. Fang did a great job on my incisions. The biggest one (on left side where camera went in) is 1", the others are considerably smaller. They are healing well. They look like little "scrapes" right now, but they will fade in time. They are not lumpy or anything. They are smooth. I'm pleased.
