Topic: 6 month testing
Hi,
I know I am way over due but what were all the tests that your doctor did at 6 months? I live in Canada and had the surgery in Renton, WA. It has been hard to get down for another follow up so I am going to ask my PCP up here to order the tests. I just want to make sure I include everything. I am assuming iron, what else?
Thanks in advance,
Kathy 
Topic: water
Just wondering has this happen to any one else. Maybe just to me because I am the only nut in the bunch. Yesterday I slow smoked ribs on the out door pit. The heat index was 106!!!!! I had to be nuts just to be out there. But I wanted slow smoked ribs so bad. And I only ate two ribs and it took three meals to finish that. I dranked water and more water and more water. But I was sweating like crazy. Didn't think too much about it. Weeeelllllll this morning I have been to the bathroom so much and all tha****er I thought I sweated out is coming out. I drink plenty of water every day. Maybe I did drink more than I thought. I don't think I have been to the little girls room this much to tinkle since WLS. Any one else wee wee weeing all the home like this before??????

Hi there!
I often "stop by" to read the boards and especially check in on the December board since my surgery date was Dec. 5th. I just HAD to actually post today because I went to the doctor today and weighed in at 100 pounds lost since surgery I have been waiting and waiting to be able to make this post and proudly say I have become a member of the amazing group that lives in Onederland! I would like to thank all of you as I feel you are a constant support even though I most often "lurk" behind the scene - I can relate to all of the posts and often "check in " when I need a boost. This is just a great day and I had to share my joy!
Thanks! Bridgett
