Thiamine Deficiency/wernicke

[Guest guest]

I have pt who had the lap band in Feb 2010 (about 8 mos ago) with another

surgeon. She ended up vomitting and got a thiamine deficiency...hair fell out

and lost 75 pounds. She is now on oral Thaimine and switched to my surgeon and

is seeing me next week for the first time. My surgeon told her he will not give

her a fill until she is stable nutritionally for 6 mos. She has not had any labs

drawn but is seeing her PMD for labs next week. What labs should I request other

than thiamine? Any other advice would be welcomed. Thanks!
