LAB GURUS - Help needed please - 4 month post-op lab results

These are my 4 month post-op blood results. I realize that I was not tested for many of the suggested tests but getting tested for these was like pulling teeth.

Although I was blessed in having a great surgeon, the bariatric team providing the follow-up care has been terrible. Just to give you an example.... at my 2 week follow-up appointment I was given a prn follow up request and was told to go back only if I needed something. I had to insist to get a 3 month follow-up visit which was scheduled shortly after 4 months post-op.

So... tomorrow I am meeting with the surgeon who banded me 3 years ago. Although the band was a failure, this surgeon really cared and had great follow-up so I am hoping he will take me on again.

For our lab gurus... please advise me which test that were missed that I should insist on having... I know vit a for one

Many thanks in advance
Lynn

Lynn,

Enter these on a spreadsheet in google docs or similar.

They NEVER show up right trying to post them here.

You need to get vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin K1 added as well. Also make sure you are suplementing with these. I used vitalady's schedule and increased E, D and K1 based on my labs. Also get TSH and PTH and ionized calcium.

OK... I think I managed to fix it so my results can be seen properly.....

ASKING ALL LAB GURUS to help me please and assess my results so far

Many thanks in advance

You need to get PTH intact added.

Also  Vit A,  Vit E,  Vit K

What calcium,  D, and iron are you taking and how much? 

I am following Vitalady's plan and schedule.

I will definitely insist on getting those tested today.

If you're following Vitalady's plan just keep doing it. Your 6 month labs should be a little better. These aren't terrible and when you post the 6 months labs you can see the trends. In addition to what has already been suggested you might also want to add vitamins B1-Thiamine and B6. Some of us can cut back on the B-complex once the numbers come up.

Thank you for your feedback.. I really appreciate it

May i ask about my vitamin B12. It seems to be through the roof. Should I be concerned about this?
