Blood work
I had RNY June 30 2008 and lost 150lbs. But my surgeon left the practice in 2010 and they didn't have anyone come in to take over until 2011. By then I didn't have any insurance and no way to pay for blood work to be done. Now I am on Medicare and I need to have blood work drawn but not sure what I need. I have not seen a surgeon since mine has left. My family doctor has been looking after my iron count and last year I had to under go Iron transfusions because mine went too low. What I need to do is get back on the wagon and get my blood work drawn but I need to be able to tell my family doctor what I need so it can be drawn. Any help is well appreciated. I have to have a bone scan done since I recently broke my hip.
Can you get a copy of the blood work that was done when you had your rny, not sure how long a medical practice keeps records of their patients, it'll give you a good starting point if anything.
