Need info on 6 month labs

My PCP is not WLS savy in our needs. She gave me a lab sheet but think its missing a few things.  It has the following marked.

Comp Metabolic (cmp)
Lipid Profile
CBC, Diff & Plts
Folate
Vitamin B-12
Vitamin B1

Is Ferritin testing better than Iron? Whats the difference? Think one of those should have been marked.

Thinking either the T-4 or TSH (3rd Gen) should be marked for thyroid. What the difference? Which one is better?

My Potassium was low on discharge from surgery. Is that included in the Lipid Profile or somewhere else.

Lab draw is tomorrow. Any info would be great!

My primary was not sure what he was supposed to run either for my 1 year, so I went back to the same lab and they looked up the work I had done, told the doctor and they ran the same test that were ordered from my WL surgeon, Just a thought

Good luck, DIane

Check out Darelen's profile. She has to lab info needed. You may have to go in several pages.

My WLS is the one who ordered all my labs. I would recommend getting a lab slip from them.
