I'm just feeling a little anxious about my two year check up.  at one year my b12 was borderline low and i know i haven't lost anymore weight.  in fact, i'm dreading that i may have actually gained a few pounds.

Just wondering how most people did on their second year.
Thanks.

My bloodwork was great. Doc said my cholesterol was "ideal"-YEAH!!!! Make sure you talk to the surgeon about your problems. They cannot help if they don't know!
Hope it goes great!

I had my cholesterol results when i gave blood a few weeks ago and it was like 160ish.  I have started making list of questions for him.  My biggest concern is having gained some weight and my blood sugar.  I was diabetic before the surgery and have unfortunately discovered that sweets don't bother me that much.  and my mom bakes entirely too much.  not blaming her because i turned it down for a year and a half but last thanksgiving i gave in and had a piece, a couple bites really, of pecan pie and have gone downhill since.
i check my bs occasionally and it usually isn't high but i worry about the diabetes coming back.

Thanks for the reply.  Congrats on your great results.

I think fear is what keeps us  from moving forward and being reluctant to talk to your doc should not be in your thoughts. He or she is your partner in your health care and any good doctor will be there behind you 100%. I saw my doc last week and he told me he was very very proud of me and never ever thought I would get to even this weight. I am a sucess story and I told my doc it is because u have been here for me when I wanted to give up on my self. I am so happy.with my self and I do know I will have days when I will think being below 170 is not good enough but then i just look at my fat pics and for some odd reason I feel better about myself I know u are in a better place then u were two years ago and when u set out on your weight loss journey u made a good choice. We all decded to do wls because all the other diets failed us, We all lost gained lost gained . The hard work is now starting we all were given a tool and we all know  that when we run and hide and give in to defeat is when we  start to fail. I think we need to promice ourselves if we gain  to this weight we will do all we can and kick out butts back to reality and I told my self if I get over 170 I am gonna do what ever I can to be below that guess what it worked. I hope to get to 147 some day but for now I am stuck at this weigh 160 something and I need to think of my labs, I am very healthy now and that is what is most important number should be my cholestral my a1c and my blood pressure all were excellent and some reason the scale of 160 something did not seem so bad after all. Congradulatons on your sucessful. Year two is sweet and year 3 will even be better for all of us. Keep comming here because this is another tool in helping your fight to obesity. My saying is weight gaining never take a day off. We are here for u u have done amazing time to celebrate a better u. We all need each other as their is not many of us left. But those that have stayed are doing amazing and even thos some are gaining I am proud that they are comming here for help. I want to come here when I am gaining weight because I hope u will help me when i am failing. What support means good bad and ugly of weight loss. NONE OF US SHOULD BE ASHAMED IF WE GAIN, we should come back and say ok I blew it and now I need help, We all have blown it just matter nows how we handle it when we blow is they key to winning this  battle.
Congradulation and give us a update what the doc said.

Thanks for the encouragement.  I think another part of my worry is that i don't want to have let him down.  he seemed so proud of where i was last year that i don't want to dissappoint.  but my main concern is the blood work.

i'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks again.  and congratulations on all your successes.  i'm so jealous that you got to get your breasts done.  i can live with a saggy tummy and arms.  but i would love, for once in my life, to have perky boobies.  just can't afford it.

I got rid of my housekeeper of 130 a week  to have to twins LOL .. Clean house or twins..  ???  Hey I can figure out how to earn 5 k for boobs,, so can you,, Look at garage sales and then look at cutting out magazines subscriptions and save money with recycling program, pack kids school lunch more, electric bill is a easy one to save money there. Drive less and walk more. My next goal is to save 5 k for paramedic school by aug,, Just like losing weight we all can pinch pennies when we have a goal. Hey it may take u a year or 2 but start saving for a boob job before u know it u can have them 2. The lady that helped me out at the surgeons office said a waitress was saving all her tips for a boob job and that is how she got her boob job she came in each week to put money down. took her a year but she got them..I miss my house keeper but i love my new twins more LOL
