What Labs Do I Need With Bariatric Surgery?

9/19/2020

1 Comment

 
  • After weight loss surgery you should have some nutrition labs done every year.
  • I recommend: CBC, Albumin, Pre-albumin, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B1 (whole blood), Folic Acid, Vitamin D, Copper, Zinc, Serum Iron, Total Iron Binding Capacity, % Saturation, and Ferritin. 
  • Your doctor can order these through your insurance - please ask for them specifically.
  • Labs can also be self-ordered through a discount lab service (not covered by insurance).

Is Food Making You Sick??

If you suspect food may be causing unexplained symptoms or you have inflammation that is not getting better with conventional treatment - food sensitivity testing and treatment may be an option.

Using this test requires a very specific diet therapy.

Results are not guaranteed but my patients usually see an 80% reduction in symptoms.

There are many food sensitivity tests on the market, and many are outdated or limited in their usefulness.

​I only work with food sensitivity testing through Oxford Biomedical Technologies. ​

The GI-MAP includes the first comprehensive pathogens assay that is FDA approved, the GPP assay by Luminex Corp.

​The pathogen targets include bacteria, parasites and another first for the market, viruses!
