The main thing I notice is your vitamin D is super low. We need that to be at least 80. It looks like your protein had dropped some but is going back up now, so that's good. I saw your other post with your B12 level and I would increase the B12 a bit. Also I'm not seeing iron, ferritin, PTH, thiamin, folate, vitamin A, zinc or copper, unless those just didn't show up.

If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
My vitamin A was 36 at 1 month and 24 at 3 months and my zinc was 89 then 79. Ferritin was 118 at 3 months(wasn't taken at 1 month). I don't see the other labs you mentioned. I was concerned about my liver because of the C-reactive protein being at 1.04 as well as the RDW being at 15.2 and the Cardio CRP (r) being at 9.8...I'm not sure if I'm worrying about it for no reason or what. I also am having my gallbladder removed next Thursday so I'm not sure if my gallbladder malfunctioning is causing some of those other things to be high. I don't know about the liver stuff. That's something to ask your doc about. Are you taking some vitamin A now? And D3? Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor.
