I picked up my blood results today from my PCP's office. I'll be meeting with surgeon next week, so I'll be able to get his interpretation then. My PCP yesterday afternoon briefly stated that I was pretty much normal. I really like how the print out highlighted the areas that fell out of the normal range.

• RDW-15.5 % (normal is 11-15 %) high
  
• LDL Cholesterol-130 (normal 0-99) high, but all other cholesterol levels are normal including total cholesterol
  
• Iron (TIBC)-244 (normal is 250-450) low
  
• Vitamin B12-1679 (normal is 211-911) high
  
• Vitamin D-111 (normal is 32-100) high
  

My pre-op blood work taken at the end of July found that I was low on vitamin D (18) and they had me supplement with 10,000 IUI per day. I'm going to cut back to 5,000 IUI per day until I meet with the surgeon.

They also told me before surgery to supplement with B12 and I think I will just do it 3 days per week now unless the doctor tells me something different.

My iron has been low or borderline low since about high school, but before surgery it was okay enough to not have to supplement (that might have to change now, I'll have to wait and see).

I was told by the nutritionist before surgery to supplement with calcium, but I've been very inconsistent (not at all in the last 3 weeks), but my levels here are normal.

My protein levels are normal.

I can't wait until next week when I can sit down and have the surgeon/nutritionist give me feedback on what I need to be doing.
