Question:
I am approaching my one year anniversary and am wondering.........

What should I expect at my one year check up exam? Blood work, yep, but testing for what exactly? What else? And since I am six hours away from my surgeon, why can't my PCP run all the tests or do you suggest I go ahead and visit my surgeon for the one year check up? Thanks P/S I feel great!

we made a lifetime commitment with our surgeon and intend to honor it. I am having my PCP do the blood work and having it sent to the surgeon. Our surgeon is doing a lot of research and needs his post ops to know what works and what doesn't.
