Question:
Pos-Op Labs

I'm wondering what post-op labwork should be done to monitor my health. So far my surgeon hasn't ordered any!    — Angel (posted on October 31, 2005)

I get blood testsat first, every three months, and now , every six months. I get folate, H1aC, B12, Cholesterol, and some others I can't think of right now.

I would call your surgeon and remind him that you need to get blood work done. I can't believe he didn't remember. Karen
