1-year followup doc visit
Just got a letter from my surgeon that he is retiring from his bariatric practice effective April 12th. My 1-year followup visit was scheduled for May 19th. He will not see anyone unless they are already scheduled or under 3-months postop. I'm feeling great and not having any issues. Are there any blood tests that should be performed? If so, I'm sure my PCP would order them. Suggestions? Thank-you.
I'm sorry that I can't remember the name of the vet who shared this list for labs, since she's awesome and deserves credit for it, but this is the list from her that I've saved:
