List of Vitamins/Nutrients to monitor while PG
This is what Andrea had recommended for me
every 8 weeks. Make sure they are getting at least the following:
ferritin, blood serum iron, hct, hgb, b-1 (thiamin), folate, b12, pth, and 0,25(OH)d
I also get B12 tested because it is notoriously low. You should be able to get a list or a lab slip from your surgeon for a complete metaboloc work up. Mine tests about 30 different things!
Good Luck

my bariatric doc said to have a full blood panel done every 3 months during the pregnancy. He said he'd leave it up to my ob/gyn on what to test, since he specializes in pregnancy. But some important ones to watch out for are iron and calcium levels I think. I've had 2 done so far in the pg (and one more done in March before the baby comes) and they've been great so far! I just had a hemoglobin A1C test done (instead of the glucose tolerance test) last week and they also tested my iron- and it was fine! GL and congrats on your pregnancy!
