Well it doesn't look like to many post here anymore but I do hope that there are some that still peek in from time to time who can help me out. I am looking at my 6 year anniversary coming up in June. On May 29th I have my yearly womanly physical and I guess I want to take this opportunity to get back on the horse persay. It is embarassing to say that I haven't had blood work done in a looooong time so not sure where that is at..... ok my questions

1. What blood tests at this point are necessary to get?

2. Does anyone have that 5 day post-op diet to get a person back on track?

If you have any answers please let me know I would appreciate it!!

For today is the first day of the rest of my life!!!

Live each day as if it were your last, you never know it just might be!!

Hi Barb,
Your post looked so lonely, I thought I would reply to you. All I have is a list I got from Vitalady I think.....I pulled it off a post several years ago.....anyway, it's complete (although a little long!) Hope this helps!
PS- not sure about the 5 day pouch reset thingie. They do post a lot about it on the Grads board, though. Have a great day!

You're welcome! I have Kaiser (an HMO) and I took her this list and she only ordered the ones that the lab was capable of doing.....you know how HMO's are.....so I haven't had the "complete" list done either. Maybe I should have insisted! But she did have most of them run.
Must be the reason why I'm so healthy now!! Current labs! Now if I could just work on water, carbs and excersize.......big sigh!!!
Have a good one!

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only TRUE FRIENDS will leave footprints in your heart...And may that friendship have such a ONENESS that when one weeps the other will taste salt...Friends are like balloons ; once you let them go you can't get them back....So I'm going to tie you to my heart so I never lose you.
