Visit to my Surgeons Office

Hi all, I went for a check-up at my surgeons office this morning and all is well blood work wise. Well except for that darn irol level. It s 37 on a range of 35-175. And that is with taking iron daily. You all can imagine what that does to me Anyhoo, I am down a total of 127 since surgery and 157 including the 30 pounds I lost just prior to surgery. I am feeling better each day. I can chase my rowdy three year old and that is a blessing. I still dump from time to time. sometimes for reasons unknown to me but oh well, them the breaks. I crack-up at all the changes I have gone thru. From size 32 to 14 and still plugging away. Would love to be a size 10, we will see. Well thats the update. Tanya -127 BMI 32 from 54!!!

Hi Tanya What did your Dr. do about your iron levels, up your iron dosage? I know someone who has to take 2 iron tablets every day, just to keep them at a mediocre level. Boy, if you could get that level up a little bit, it would boost your energy! Glad that everything went well. Isn't it great to be able to play with your baby? That's one of the things that makes me tear up, knowing that I can play with my kids, now. Take care, Tanya. Your WL Buddy, Jane 362/205/162 Pre-op BMI- 63.............Post-op BMI- 35 P.S.

Hi Tanya... thanks for the update. I have to make an appointment to see my dr. again too. I am still not feeling any better... I really don't think these things that I've been feeling (sleepy, scatterbrained, confused, not able to get anything done, not wanting to be around people) are all from depression... maybe the part about not wanting to have to deal with people but the rest of it I think might be that I am deficient in something. I was on the borderline of B-12 & Folic Acid the last time my blood work was done. Anyway... I'm glad that you're feeling so much better than you were last year, you've done a great job! Pam
