my 6 month labs
on 1/6/16 10:03 am
So I just put together a spreadsheet of the labs I've had done along the way pre-op to the latest (6 month post-op). Each time was a different doctor or facility and not all of the tests were done each time. I'm not sure what all of these are, but could someone please look them over and tell me if there's anything I need to adjust, AND if there are any tests that aren't being done that need to be? My surgeon is the one who ordered the latest set, so I'm assuming that's what all he wanted to monitor, but I believe you all talk about others as well.
Thanks! Also, I'm attempting to copy/paste from Excel, so bear with me!

I don't know all of it, but I would say don't worry about your B-12 being high. From what I have seen on here some people seem happier on the high end. I was not taking B-12 everyday because my B-12 was testing fine, never low.... in the 4-500 range. Then I started getting numbness on fingers and toes. I had to up my B-12 to where I am in the 1000-ish mark and it is significantly better. take 2000 sublingually a day. Your Glucose was low, but I don't see a measure for A1c. The A1c gives an average of your blood glucose, over 3 months which would give you an idea if it is really low or not. Some people do get hypogycemic after surgery, so steady regular eating pattern helps that, but you can't tell from one reading.

Thank you! I put down all of the readings I was given, so I don't think they tested an A1c, but if it is an average of 3 months, I should be ok. I actually have a glucose monitor and take readings when I'm feeling certain ways just to track it. It is almost always between 75 and 100 (more often 75-90) and VERY seldom between 60-75. Never below when I have checked it, but then again, I do not eat ANY complex carbs. When I have tried to sneak a quick bite size candy bar or something like that, I do feel like utter CRAP about 30 minutes later, so I just skip all of it now.
Thanks again for responding with your advice! :)
