How far out post op were you before you did your first set of labs?

Any one get totally shocked by the results?

My program says they don't food another until 3 months out.

First post op labs were at 3 months. Then 6, then 9. No surprises really, just pleased with the results from the Patches I'm using for my Vitamins. All levels were within normal ranges at both my 3 and 6 month post-op follow ups.

I am hoping mine will be fine as well.

At first I was concerned because I couldn't take my Vitamins. But now that I he switched me to capsules I am doing much better. Just anxious about it because I want to know how they look.

3 months as well. Low on Vitamin A, had to down my B12 to every other day, Protein was low but I was transitioning between stages and was not able to reach goals the few days prior to blood work. Otherwise looked good. Surgeon and PCP were pleased with results. I'm doing another round next week (1 month-ish later) so they can re-check everything.

      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?
