My doctor has the first blood tests done 1 month post op.

Mine was seven months post-op for a lipid panel and a bunch of nutrients. All was good. My primary did some bloodwork at about three months, and that was only for a lipid panel and complete blood count.

Actually after the surgery they took my blood everyday for 5 days, also pricked the fingertip for blood sugar test. Everything was fine in the report then they released me.

My surgeon advised 3 months, 6 months and then annually. My 3 month was perfect, but my Calcium and Iron were elevated at 6 months so I decreased those supplements. Here's what I have tested....

• CBC, platelets

• Liver, Kidney,Thyroid Function

• Electrolytes

• Glucose

• Iron studies/Ferritin

• Vitamin B12

• Lipid Profile

• 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D
