Bloodwork after gastric sleeve

Even though the gastric sleeve is not technically a malabsorptive procedure, vitamin deficiencies can rarely arise.  For this reason we recommend:

• Starting 6 months post-op, then every 6-12 months
  • Complete blood count (CBC)
  • Comprehensive metabolic profile (CMP)
  • Vitamin levels
  • Vit D25, folate, B6, B12, and whole blood thiamine
  • Iron – TIBC, Serum iron
  • Optional
    • Hemoglobin A1C
    • Thyroid: TSH
    • Lipid profile
• If you are having your PCP or another doctor order your post-op labs, please have them faxed to us at (513) 559-1235!
