4 month update
Keep it up! Yes, you are going to have to be super vigilant about the iron levels and your vits. I keep a spreadsheet of my stats every time they take blood.
Also- my liver enzymes have been VERY high and are just now starting to work their way down and I'm 17 months out. My gallbladder also sludged out 3 months after surgery so keep an eye on that.
I have my pre-op and post op results so I will be watching that. The lab I go to provides all the labs online but I didn't sign up when I went for pre-op.
You're the 2nd person who has mentioned gallbladder with elevated liver function.
Thanks for the feedback. I hope I'm as successful as you!!
