I had my surgery 5 years ago on September 18th. I am getting ready to schedule my 5 year bariatric checkup. I'm wondering if anyone knows what kind of tests will be performed. I know they will check nutrition levels, but wondering if anything else. Have a great day and take care of yourselves!!!!

I got a call in September from my doc asking me to set up my 5 year check up. I go next week so I'll post then as to what all was checked.

You can ask to have EVERYTHING checked rather than wonder! I have my doc run a FULL set of labs every visit, which lately is every six months...No one ever ran ALL my nutrition levels, not before surgery, during or until "I" requested them all be done! Some docs are better at these things than others...I know that mine is not so I keep track myself.

Just a suggestion...
