Labs.... think I'm missing something...
I dont think they ran a complete panel on me and just did a CBC, I may be wrong. But I go to the docs tomorrow
Here's my numbers:
WBC – 7.2
RBC – 4.48
Hemoglobin – 14

Lymphs – 42
Monocytes – 7
Eos – 2
Basos – 0
Neutrophils (absolute) – 3.5
Lymphs (absolute) – 3.0
Monocytes (absolute) - .5
Eos (absolute) - .1
Baso (absolute) – 0
Immature Granulocytes – 0

Albumin – 4.2
Iron – 48
I'm missing my protein and looks to be some others..... Am I right or am I wrong? This is only the 2nd time I've gone to see docs for follow up since I'm only 7 months out.
They did more than just a CBC because they did a few vitamins, but they sure didn't do a complete set.
You're missing a CMP (which would include your total protein and a bunch of other stuff), vitamin D (25-hydroxy), vitamin A, ferritin, zinc, copper, prealbumin, magnesium and phosphorus. Also vitamin K, vitamin E and selenium if you want those (not everyone does them).
Your B12 is low, by the way.

Either way.

BTW, your B12 is too low. Kelly has posted minimal labs needed for post ops on several occasions. Likely her link will provide the list. If your D is below 40, I'd highly recommend the 50K IU dry D3--I take these from vitalady.com . Low D levels will prevent your calcium from being properly absorbed. Target D levels are 80-90. It took me multiple times of increased dosages to reach the target range, even with these higher dosage dry D3. DAVE
