can someone provide a complete list of labs that should be run after Gastric Bypass? I don't think my PCP has ordered the right tests so would appreciate guidance from the vets. TIA

You might want to call your surgeon to double check.

You know what would be awesome? If someone put together a guide (or maybe there is one out there somewhere) that breaks down the various individual tests by line item. For instance, Iron is complicated. Breaking down the difference between Ferritin, Iron, Iron Satauration, TIBC, UIBC, etc. Then explaining variouos causes of each, and the interactions between them, etc. Not just for iron, but for all the various labs. I have read so many articles online and scrutinized my results, and still need to refresh myself every time I get blood work it seems.

So, if anyone DOES have a link to something like this tht would be awesome.

Otherwise, maybe someday I will find the motivation to draft something and crowd source it to you guys for input/accuracy. Maybe
