ETA: The person had already deactivated by the time I responded. I don't know who she is or anything. Her post was 4 hours old when I saw it. If you know who she is, please ask her to come back and read or let her know what we said.
Thx.

Well that's odd. Is she scared of protein shakes and that's why she deactivated? LOL

Seriously, it's stuff like this that makes me want to tear my hair out and scream. This gal has low Vitamin D and they didn't even test PTH. The calcium is a tad high too.

Oh and HDL is supposed to be *at least* 50.

No ferritin so it's impossible to know if iron stores are good to match the decent serum levels.

But the bariatric specialist thinks these are "great" labs. Well, okay...

I bet half the people who post here that their labs are "perfect" have labs like this.

I had read her post 30 min after she posted, 15 min later it was deactivated. I did not know what to say about it so I did not respond. I hope she comes back,
