**************************************************************************************************
This is NOT medical advice, just my own targets for the main blood levels I watch.
Protein: 7's
albumin: 4's
pre-albumin: 20-30's
iron: 80-100
ferritin: 200-300
hgb: 12+
hct: 36+
vit A: 60- 80
vit D: 60-80
calcium: 9-0-9.4
PTH: 30-40
B1: mid- to top- range
B6: mid- to top- range
mag: mid-range
zinc: mid-range
B12: 1000 +
folate: 10-20
AST (sgot): below 40
ALT (sgpt): below 40
We usually want to "meet or beat" pre-op levels. In some cases, higher is better, and in other cases (cholesterol, PTH for example), lower is better.
The only things *I* don't mind being on the high end of out of range are ferritin and B12. But that applies to ME.
My doctors don't show interest in any of these until I am out of range. *I* am interested when I begin heading that direction.
Thanks,

I have two sides to my brain - a right side and a left side. The trouble is sometimes there is nothing left in the right side and nothing right in the left side.

There's no cheating at all. Using valid codes is perfectly moral and legal.

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.

My serum iron is about 83, ferritin about 183.

and I have to find someone to follow me. So I was wondering what labs I should ask for. I think I'll use this list along with the other tests I've had done to help guide my GP to order what I need.
Thanks again,

PS I'm looking into getting an anchor tummy tuck. Are you happy with yours?
