Was not expecting to have to provide a stool sample. They sent me home with a "kit". I guess there is a first for everything.

Consider yourself fortunate. I haven't had the easiest time getting lab requests honored. Salute to your doctor's lab orders and, well, salute to your contribution!!

It is a colon cancer test, and you should take it annually. Not related to RNY. Just good health care.

I had to do one prior to surgery. They said it was related to my liver function, and just precautionary.

Haha! I was surprised when I has handed a giant jug for a 24hr urine collection at my 6 month labs. No one expects the giant pee jug!

Hope all goes well!
