Guest guest Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 - thank you so much for this list. I guess I have to rely on my PCP to run these tests since my wls doesn't have a post-op plan. Now I just have to pray that my insurance will cover these tests every 6 months... Thanks again. > > > I know some of these don't look to good maybe it is not my blood > > *Reckon*?
