I am 13 weeks postop and have not had any bloodwork done yet, just wondering if this is unusual. I have an appt. with my surgeon this week and am planning to ask him but just curious, especially since I am losing a lot of hair.< /p>

I've had blood work done twice now since my surgery which was back on Dec 2014. The last time was last Friday to figure out if my memory loss was cause by my surgery.

I did blood work at 3 months and then will do it again at 6months . I was previously a diabetic so I normally do blood work normally every 3 months but the surgeon paper work also said every 3 months for a year

I was sleeved in October and have had blood done once. All #s were perfect but still had the Hair loss. I started taking the highest dose of Biotin I could find and washed my hair with a biotin-fortified Shampoo. I still have a little hair loss but it's definitely improving. Doc says starts slowing down around 6 mths

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
