Just curious, although I have been feeling decent since my pouch redo last October and reconnect in March, I am wondering if I should have any bloodwork done just to check on things? I hear with a redo sometimes your B12 can get low due to losing some terminal ileum. If I go to my family doc, what blood work should I have them check out? Thanks.. I have been having some issues with not gaining weight since surgery.

Definitely iron and vitamin D should be on that list.
all iron levels were very low, I need to see hematologist to see if I might need an iron infusion. My pouch redo almost a year ago I lost a lot of blood so maybe I just need an iron infusion. have apt in 2 weeks.
my Vitamin D and B12 levels were within normal ranges
How have you been feeling?
