Hi, I am 37 years old and had gastric bypass 4 years ago. Today I had a wellness panel done and I was flagged on 3 things. My AST (sgot) level is low at 11. My ALT (sgpt) is 17. My HDL is 17, and my hemoglobin is 11.9. I am curious if these could be low due to my gastric bypass surgery and if there are any vitamins I can take to raise these levels?. Are these levels to be really concerned about? Thank you in advance. Cari C
