I had my 3 month check-up today with Brett and Dr. Irgau. Everything is just fine and I'm doing great. I am down 61 pounds and they ( and I ) couldn't be more pleased with my weight loss. Brett feels the stomach issues I had last week were the result of adding too much fiber in too quickly. I was using Benefiber, be careful how much fiber you add and how quickly you add it. As Dr. Irgau said, it's all trial and error learning what our bodies can and can't handle. I will continue to make healthy choices, make sure I get enough to drink and use Colace everyday.If it should ever happen again, I am to go right to the ER at Christiana. My blood pressure was up. Unfortunately I've been under some added stress lately ( not surgery or health related ). I've made an appointment tomorrow with my primary to re-evaluate my blood pressure situation. My endocrinologist was handling that area along with my diabetes...I should say my now non existant diabetes

but alas the endo is no more. I fired him yesterday. I have never seen a doctor so disappointed that a patient was doing WELL. Well, ya know what? I don't need him and my primary along with PMRI doctors can monitor my A1c's in the future. I am truely going to miss Dr. Baag when he leaves. I realize that many don't like him but I always felt he had my best interests at heart. I hope he goes on to better things. Anyhoo, that's the 3 month lowdown. 61 pounds are history. Oh yeah and a bit of a cool footnote...I tucked my shirt in my jeans today

I hope you are all well. Linda

Great job Linda. I have also been experimenting with intake of Benefiber, and your right, there are good days and bad days. Is Dr. Baag really leaving? When I saw him last week he didn't indicate he was going anywhere when I asked him? *****ally knows. Rob
