Blood tests post op



Recommended Posts

Did anyone's surgeon do blood tests for B12 or Iron deficiency at some point after surgery? I'm almost 9 months (down about 70lbs since pre op) and my surgeon hasn't done any testing. Wondering if it's something I should ask for.

Hi. I had lab work at 6 months and just had it done for my 12 month. They checked for several things. I'm sure each surgeon has their own protocol:):)

MY BAND Surgeon suggested I see my pcp a little while after post op for a work up so I did & did it just recently also everything came out normal even my thyroid problems have gotten better.

My surgeon advised me to go to my Primary Physician to have blood work done . I went every 6 months because I was a diabetic and had high cholesterol before my lapband surgery. recent bloodwork showed A1C 51, cholesterol 184, all other levels normal. I take B12, D3 and Multivitamin every day.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
