Dr. Jawad and Labs

I was wondering if those of you who have had your surgery with Dr. Jawad could tell me about when labs are scheduled and follow up blood work done.  It just dawned on me that I have no idea and nothing's been scheduled that I'm aware.  My next appt. isn't for a month to have the tube removed and surely he won't wait until then to want to track if I'm getting what I need or what my iron levels are.  Any thoughts from former/current patients?

Debra, You will not get labs until the 90 day appointment.  My 90 days is on Oct 1 and just had my blood drawn the other day and sent to him.  You need more food in you than what you are on now to be able to tell what is going on.  I feel wonderful and the Mac truck that hit me on July 2nd has moved on to someone else.  Good luck with the tube and you will get the script that day for the blood work.   Sandy

Thanks Sandy.  We get so much thrown at us that I thought I had missed something important. It's nice to know there IS a plan.
