1 year post-op blood tests
Hello to all,
Does anyone know what blood tests are done at the 1 year post
gastric bypass checkup ? I am seeing a Doctor tomorrow morning and
asking him to run some blood tests. He asked me to find out what
tests need to be done. I am his first patient that has had a
gastric bypass.
The doctor that did my bypass is over 12 hours away. So, going to
see him is not doable. I am dizzy and I am having really bad pains
in my head. I thought it was migraines brought on by getting hit in
the head last week. But, maybe not.
I appreciate your help.
sincerely,
Loriann
