Had Revision to RNY 02/01/08, have not been back to see my surgeon...

Hi, I had my reviion from stomach stapling over to RNY 02/01/08. I saw my surgeon afterwards on 02/12/08 but have not seen him (or any other Doctor) since. My surgeon's office is a 2.5 - 3.0 hour drive and I kept putting it off, then I kind of justified it to myself, thinking, "I'm doing fine, I'm losing weight, my incision is healing fine, I'm eating the correct foods at the right stages, taking vitamins, Liquid-B Comlpex, Calcium + D, Biotin, taking potassium twice a week, getting in protein first and aiming for 70-80 g of Protein, drinking plenty of water, walking on my treadmill". But the other day I saw someone here mention bloodwork. I have not had any bloodwork since surgery. I am wondering: when, how often are we supposed to have bloodwork and what are they checking? Are there any other tests or whatever I am missing out on? Thanks!
