I had my surgery in Edmond in Nov, 2010. Dr. Walton did my surgery, but the whole staff there is top notch. I drove down from Kansas to have my surgery there if that is of worth to you.

Has anyone gone to Weight Wise in Edmond?  I'm considering using them.

I was quoted about 4,500 for the sleeve in Mexico. You might want to call around and save yourself 2,500. That would pay for your lab work. 

Disclaimer: This is by no means expert medical advice, and the way I explain things below is just how I tend to think of them, so check with your PCP or surgeon for the real deal info. The surgeon in Mexico should give you post-op info that includes what blood work you should get done routinely. Also search the OH forums because there are plenty of posts pertaining to blood work and other routine post-op medical issues.

Here's an example of my routine blood work. Most people get it done 3 months, 6 months, and one year post-op. Then every 6 months after that. However, if I start having issues with low energy, my NUT orders labs just to be sure.

• Insulin (because I was pre-diabetic pre-op)
• Hg A1C (because I was pre-diabetic pre-op)
• Ferritin (my NUT refers to this as the "storage form of iron")
• Iron (non storage form of iron, kind of free flowing in your blood, this is the iron level they typically test when you donate blood)
• Vit D
• Lipid panel (cholesterol)
• B12
• B6

Even though I had surgery in the states, I didn't have much support from my surgeon's office.  I learned a lot from reading the boards.  I get my labs done with my family physician.  See if your family doctor would be wiling to do aftercare.  Good luck!
