Another Set of Labs--Six Months Later

Hi Everyone,
  A little background.....I had labs drawn in March and started school in April.  I commuted four to five hours twice a week for six months.  I'm not going to lie, I was horrible with my supplementation.  No excuses are good enough so I'm not going to make them.  Bottom line, I had labs drawn again after school was done and here are the results.  Comment at will.

That's it? No D3 and no PTH...no iron or ferritin? I see that your potassium is getting low but I can't tell much else.

Well, hell.  I think I'm going to scream.  Hardly any of them showed up.  Will try again later.  Sorry Gina!  Thanks for the reply!

Not related to labs, just curious...

Since Dr. Kim is now in Orlando, who does your follow-up? He did my sleeve back in January.  Have you seen him since he left Mississippi?

Hi,
  Yes, I have seen Dr. Kim since my DS.  I was living in Jacksonville when I had surgery.  I have seen him since my surgery since I had complications, but when I REALLY needed him I could not get him to contact me back.  The office staff was not helpful at all.  I ended up writing him a letter giving him every contact number and email I had.  I never heard from him.  I took that as a sign that he didn't want to have anything further to do with me  lol.
  I think Dr. Kim is a GREAT surgeon, don't get me wrong.  Things just changed once he left Mississippi.  I made an appointment to see him once I moved here to Texas, flew there, got a motel and car etc, etc, etc.....When I got there I was told he wasn't in the office that day.  If it was true, I should have at least received a phone call telling me so.  I was not a happy girl.
  Anyway, best of luck with your sleeve!  When you see him again, please tell him I said hello.  I think I'm the only Wenda he's ever had and I'm pretty memorable since I had complications, I don't think he will have forgotten me  lol.
  Take care,
  Wenda
