Question about lab tests, post surgery ?
I am 7 months post surgery. Doing great, 6 pounds away from 100 pounds gone! Happy camper for sure. I have only had labs done once by my surgeon right after surgery. I see my PCP this Thursday and will have labs done. What exactly should be checked? My co-morbidities were high blood pressure and high cholesterol, pre surgery. Are there special tests run for sleevers?
Hopefully my PCP will know, but figured the wonderful vets here could give me an idea of what's usually checked.
Thanks!
