I met with my primary care physician earlier this week. We covered all the bases, and she referred me to get a mammogram and a colonoscopy among all the blood panel that is needed to make sure I am on the right track.
Only a few labs have returned, and she gave me a call earlier, it seems my iron, ferritin, and vitamin-D levels are low, and we were expecting it, but they were lower than last year. I have to admit, I have dropped the ball for the last year and have not been consistent with my daily supplements. This morning was a reminder that this is lifelong, a forever thing I must do. She recommended an iron iv drip as soon as possible. I reached out to my bariatric surgeon, and it seems his office will be able to do that for me, just waiting on the cost :/
AC1 is at 5.4, so I am still keeping diabetes at bay!!! The doctor was so impressed that I reversed diabetes, and said she was profoundly proud of me. I know I must do better, it is still borderline normal.
Albumin/Protein levels are in normal ranges.
We are waiting to get results on the cholesterol, and the thyroid panel. There were other tests the doctor wanted to get a reading on, so we are still waiting.
In the meantime, I have started my daily multivitamin, calcium citrate, and iron with vitamin-c supplements. I ordered the Bariatric Advantage Vit-D oil drops today, as well as omega-3 caps.
Other good news is that I have lost 6lbs, but I know it is the water retention from my menstrual period I had from my period last week.
Thanks for reading.
