I found a great list specifically for VSG to ask my cop for but can't find it and I want to print it out to ask the doctor. If I can't find it should I just ask for a full blood work up? I'm post op btw and I'm a bit lethargic.

Thank you. Do you know where I would find a list if what's considered normal?

You can try searching this site (it's the tiny magnifying glass in the upper right), but the required labs vary by type of surgery, so make sure you're looking in the right forums.
