Getting Bloodwork done tomorrow - what is REALLY necessary...

Hi Ladies,

I am due to get my bloodwork done again.

I had the VSG back in June of 2009.

It cost me a small fortune to get them done here in Belize.  Charged me per test... crazy...

Could a couple of you pros go to my profile and look a my last blood work and tell me, considering I had the Sleeve, what you think is the most important to get done.

I only want to get the very most important things checked this time.

I very much appreciate your help...  I will move my bloodwork sheets to the very last photos so you don't have to search for them ok?

Thanks so much!

Hi Again,

Sorry to push, but I value your opinions so much!  Any suggestions on the blood work I REALLY REALLY need to get done, based on my last bloodwork... I am not doing the full compliment this time, due to the cost, only what is really necessary...

Thanks so much I look forward to your replies,

I will check once more in the morning before I go to the City.  I really wished I had asked this question days ago...

Oh well hopefully someone will chime in soon.

Thanks ladies,

Cindy,
I know that Vitalady has suggested labs for RNY but I'm not sure about the Sleeve.  Her website is www.vitalady.com.  I don't think you have to get as much as we do because you don't have the malabsortion.

I was hoping Lee or someone with a sleeve would see this and respond.  Gina usually knows about labs for RNY and DS.

Sorry you haven't gotten any help. 

Hi Honey,

Thanks so much for your reply, I will check out Vitalady's site, and see if she can assist me, and perhaps start buying my vitamins there...

I am still hoping someone from here will help me out.  I postponed my bloodwork.  I just want to get done what I absolutely have to this time... it cost me a small fortune last time...

Thanks again my dear, big hugs!

All I have is Vitalady's extensive list and I try to get as many as possible. I don't know what to tell you for sure. I think I would have calcium, parathyroid, vitamins A, D3, iron, ferritin, hemoglobin, hematocrit, zinc, potassium and B12. Those are the ones I'd want to know about because I can affect them with my supplements.

Huge Big Thankful Hugs!!!!

That is just what I was looking for Gina.  I know I should get them all done, but it was crazy expensive.  I will get the above, plus any that were out of whack in a negative way last time...

I really apprecaite your feedback honey...
