6 month check-up

I had my 6 month follow-up visit today and Dr. G was very pleased with my progress, much more enthusiastic than I am.  He reviewed my labs and they were all good.  My Hb A1C dropped from 7.2 to 6.4 in 3 months, all vitamin levels were normal except Vitamin D was low and he wants me to supplement until the weather is better and I can get some natural sunlight on a regular basis.  I've already lost more than 50% of my excess weight which he says is excellent for 6 months out.  He did say I should only expect to lose another 20-30 lb, because if I make my goal lower I'll only be setting myself up for disappointment..  He said to check with my PCP but I possibly don't need BP medication or Lipitor anymore.

All-in-all, a successful check-up! 

Wow!  What an outstanding appointment.  I am very glad for you.  That is awesome!!!

good work
