European Labs from Cat: GURUS please can you help me?
Hi guys!
As you may know, we are a bit behind here on the bariatric field in that sense that surgeons often recommend to take a multi and see what happens, also no frequent labs etc. So I try to take matters into my own hands. I had my labs drawn at my pcp a month before surgery and i had my labs drawn at my PCP 2 weeks ago (4 mos after surgery) She did not draw everything this time since some were so 'good'? the first time round. Anyways, I am jyust GLAD that I have a very cooperative PCP who will draw what and when I ask and give me the copies of it (not very usual over here) So this is what I have:
Í hope some of you can give me feedback as I am still learning to interpret these. For the record: since the beginning I took multi (high dosed) and CalMagD powder (citrate) and i Just started iron and B12 so I am surprised at my iron and B12 levels.
I will list the name first, then the value before surgery, then the value last week and then the optimum range as listed here
