Your B12 is beautiful and your ferritin is outstanding. Seriously, it seems pretty rare in RNY folks to have a ferritin level above 100. Even about 50, really. Yours is great and make sure you continue taking your iron so it stays that way. It seems to be super hard to get it up if it falls.
Your D is too low. I know your lab reports says it's in the normal range but research shows that below 80 you don't absorb calcium as well so you're at higher risk for osteoporosis. You're also at higher risk for cancer, heart disease and other stuff you don't want. Almost everyone in the US, RNY or not, is deficient though so you're not alone. Are you taking any D3 right now?
There are lots and lots of tests I don't see here. They checked your ferritin but not iron? I'm also not seeing thiamin, vitamin A, zinc, copper, PTH... Those are ones I would absolutely want done. I also do vitamin E, vitamin K, B6 and selenium but some people don't think those are really necessary.
