Dr.Visit

Today,05/23/05,I went to my PCP.I see her every 3 months,due to diabetes.She took me off my last and final med!!!YAHOO!!!!I'm now MED-FREE!!!.I'm just under 6 mos out.I've lost 65 lbs(I've lost and regained and lost again).I just take my multivitamin twice daily.What a trade off!!I had my labs drawn again today.I'll repost in a week when I get the results.What a feeling!!!I was on 7 different medications before surgery(Now med free!!).Diabetes,High Blood Pressure,High Cholesterol,Angina(Heart problems),PCOS,Edema,Short of Breath,Chest Pains(unexplained),are just some of the conditions that were caused or made worse by the excess weight.I'm so thankful for Dr.Boe,and this surgery.It has truly made a huge difference in my life.
