Suggest Recommended Tests Post Pancreas, Spleen And Gallbladder Removal

I have had 2/3rds of my pancreas and my spleen removed 4-1/2 years ago and my gallbladder removed 6 years ago. Are there any tests that I should have done to make sure that everything is OK now? I have never seen a doctor since the pancreas/spleen was removed.

Hello,

Post pancreas, spleen and gall bladder removal; we recommend regular monitoring of complete blood counts with indices, coagulation parameters and ultrasound examination annually in absence of symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
