Ok, so I got my results before I go to my surgeon. From what I can tell, I am anemic or borderline anemic. My calcium, glucose, SGOT, SGPT, ALK PHOS, Protein, Albumin, Sodium, Potassium (at lowest point), Chloride, CO2, and Anion Gap stuff is okay. My BUN is 6 (should be 15-38) and my Createnine is 0.6 (it should be 0.6-1.3).
My HGB is 11.4 (should be 11.5 - 15.5), my MCV is 73 (should be 80-98), and my MCH is 22.7 (should be 27.0-34.0), and my Platelet count is 417 (should be 150-400). So, my research tells me that I am anemic, have thin blood, and have a b12 defiecency. Anyone want to take a guess?

Of course, I will wait and see what the surgeon says tomorrow and let you all know. I could be totally wrong.

But, it has been 3 months for me and Cindylouwho and I am just proud of both of us!

Im not gonna guess honey LOL. Some of what you put up is still OK even if its right below range. Yes some of it needs attention. But ya know what.... it should be outta wack so to speak from what you just had done. They have ways to fix it. Yesim proud of you both. LOOK at the weight you have lost girl DAM!

I am so excited for you. I am glad I am past the first month, but sometimes I miss the newness of it all. I cannot believe I just wrote that! You will be fine. You have us and I will come over yonder and get ya if you need me!

Yes, you are borderline anemic, and while with my normal stomach patients, I would say watch your diet, get in food high in iron, for bypass patients, it's best to get V12 shots plus iron pills.
Otherwise, looks like you're in pretty much good condition.
And congrats on the weight loss!! Way to go!
