Blood/Labwork

How often post op do you get blood work done to check your metabolic levels of vitamins etc??? Thanks! Stephanie

Stphanie, my surgeon has us get blood work done, at six months out, at 12 months out, and then every twelve months after that.

I go to my PCP every 3 months to do bloodwork & checkup due to my diabetes and when I went it was at almost 6 months, but they didn't do it correctly - i only got b12 and calcium done with the regular workup so when my next 3 month comes on - i have to request all vitamin areas to be checked. I agree with the last post...6 months - 6months then once a year per my surgeon.

Stephanie, mine was at 3 months, then 6, then yearly. Of course, if you feel something is wrong, they can run them any time just to check. Keep a good eye on the levels. Patty
