I was disappointed with how few labs were taken at my 1 year appt. Only B12, iron, hemoglobin.
Just wondering what you all had taken for your 2 year appt?
Thanks, Kelly

Kelly, I'm coming up on my 1 year and have not had any labs done yet. I did have my regular doctor run test for cholesterol last august and that was low and he expected it to go lower. I'm surprised that Dr. Bakers office does not do labs more often. Actually I really surprised by the check ups I've had. They weigh you, and ask questions. You can lie your way through and they say everything is great and you leave. I'm glad I follow every rule.
I guess I thought there would be more to it.
