Comprehensive Bloodwork & Lab Panels

Neither a vitamin nor a surgery is enough when it comes to your health. A detailed bloodwork lab panel will provide you and those around you with a clear understanding of what is happening within your body. At Bodiatrics, we believe that bloodwork is more than just numbers; it is the backbone of personalized care, enabling you to make informed decisions, achieve better outcomes, and avoid future complications.

You can skip much of the process, but comprehensive bloodwork is essential before starting a weight-loss program, preparing for bariatric surgery in Georgia, or managing long-term health.

What Does a Comprehensive Bloodwork Panel Mean?

A comprehensive panel encompasses a wide range of tests compared to a small number of values, as demonstrated in a simple blood test. It examines the red and white blood cells, your liver enzymes, cholesterol levels, hormones, and vitamin status. The large-scale perspective enables pinpointing of potential issues before they escalate.

In Bodiatrics, we are using the panels to:

• Early detection of metabolic syndromes such as diabetes or hypothyroidism.
• Surveil organ functions, nutrition, and inflammation.
• Develop a benchmark of long-term care and post-surgery follow-up.
• Individualize your medication and nutrition plan.

Critical Tests in the Panel
An average extensive blood work panel.

• Complete Blood Count (CBC): Evaluates red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets to determine whether a person is anaemic, infected, or has immune system health problems.
• Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): Examines electrolytes, renal function, liver enzymes, and blood sugar levels.
• Lipid Profile: Helps to present cholesterol and triglycerides to determine cardiovascular risk.
• Thyroid and tests Hormone: Tests thyroid (TSH, T3, T4) and other hormones that affect weight and metabolism.
• Nutrient/Vitamin Levels: Vitamin D, B12, folate, iron studies, and others are essential for bariatric patients, as they may face problems with nutritional absorption.
• Inflammatory markers, such as CRP and ESR, demonstrate underlying inflammation.

The Importance of these Panels to Bodiatrics Patients.

Weight loss therapy, metabolic care, or bariatric surgery—without blood work, you will not see me again. This allows our team to:

The use of Bloodwork in directing the way Dr. Will Johnson attends to patients

How does Dr.Will Johnson guide their Patient about Bloodwork Lab Panels?

Dr. Will Johnson, a seasoned bariatric patient care provider with Bodiatrics, uses thorough bloodwork as a foundation for patient care. This is how he incorporates laboratory findings into your health experience:

• Before Surgery: Pre-surgical screening of the patients. If your lab results indicate a nutrient deficiency, anaemia, or thyroid conditions, Dr. Johnson will discuss them first, as this not only enhances safety but also surgical results.
• Post-surgical: The way your body alters in the wake of bariatric surgery. Nutrient absorption balance is changed, hormones reconfigure, and metabolism accelerates. Dr. Johnson regularly checks blood tests to identify potential problems, such as vitamin B12 deficiency or iron deficiency, before they become apparent.
• Long-Term Monitoring: He focuses on trend monitoring rather than conducting regular check-ups. To optimize your reading, the narrative of your lab values over time helps you modify both your nutritional intake and supplementation, as well as medications.
• Patient Education: Dr. Johnson is reputed for providing lab results in plain language. He does not simply give you the numbers, but he helps you understand what they are and how they can be improved by changing your lifestyle.

Bloodwork is not merely a test; it is a powerful tool in his possession.
