Generic DS Lab order

[southernlady]

If you don't have one from your surgeon (hell, even if you do), take this one to a GOOD PCP/Endo/Hemo, whatever...someone willing to pull all needed labs.

This was compiled based on two different surgeon's lab orders, the Vitalady suggested list and run by MajorMom.

There is a word copy located here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7yajtt1u72klrba/Generic Bariatric Lab Order ICD10.doc?dl=0
There is a PDF copy attached below.

Rabkin's annual lab orders: http://www.paclap.com/downloads/annualdslaborders.pdf

This needs a MMA and homocistine also to verify B12 level. Also prealbumin, and Vitamin E

 

[southernlady]

@KarenB, which one...mine or Rabkins? If mine, if you edit it and repost it, I would be grateful.

 

[KarenB]

Rabkin's didn't have MMA and homocistine, E, prealbumin. But I still am not able to open the bariatric generic one. Could it be because i am on my cell? But other stuff opens using Kindle or Polaris. This just flat out says "cannot open file"

 

[KarenB]

The link I clicked on for the drop box is just page one of one and just has the dx codes.

 

[southernlady]

It is just one page...I took that to my PCP and he generated one based on that one. It's basically just a list of what tests and the codes for it. Many PCPs have their own or the lab they prefer does which is why it is such a straight forward listing.

It could be.

I appreciate the lab order samples. But now do you have a cheat sheet of sorts to tell me what my levels should be in each....D, E, PTH, Calcium or bone ?

Also, looking to find brands that have worked well? What your daily vitamin regimen is (I realize everyone is different but just trying to get a feel for what I'm looking at)?

Just revisited and still cannot open this in dropbox. Says "cannot open file."

Do you Word installed? It is a doc not a docx (that requires newer Word). Doc is Word 97 and above.

Okay, I think I found the issue...try the edited link.

southernlady...if you have a copy of some results based off those lab orders can you look to see if the CRP (c-reactive protein) says HS (high sensitivity) or if it says quantitative?

There are two different types of CRP's and i'm trying to figure out which one it is.

Yes, I do...listed here: http://bariatricfacts.org/threads/got-my-labs-back.397/ and here (altho this one accidentally skipped my PTH) http://bariatricfacts.org/threads/new-labs-done-not-much-of-a-change.1726/
