3 month Checkup

I'm through whining about the EMG so I figured I'd let ya'll know about my 3 month appt with Dr. Peter's yesterday. I stroll in thinking I am doing GREAT! wohooo. They weighed me, down 72 lbs! YES! Then I saw Dr. Peters. *cough* He doesn't like that I've lost so much so fast. Then I explained that I've had a sinus infection, on antibiotics that inflamed my ulcers and gave me thrush. So he understood why... I wasn't eating much the last month, also, of course, why my protein was down a bit. But I assured him I am pretty much back on track. So we are good again. I told him with the leg and foot right now, I'm not excercising... he said GOOD! Again because he doesn't want me losing anymore right now. To be fussed at for losing too much, that's a first. To be told GOOD when I said I was not excercising... another first. And to be told by my PCP that I had to add more salt in my diet... Whatta week. No excercise, eat salt. Never heard that pre-op Overall - I'm a good girl and it showed at my appointment. I am pleased. I hope you all are doing well! Gigee

Girl! You are my inspiration!!!! Hope things with your back go well with no complications. Like Mr. Bob Marley says.... Don't Worry Abount a thing Cause every little thing is gonna be alight! Woke up this morning Smilin at the rising sun 3 Little birds singing on my doorstep...... (I requested that Dr. Irgau play that in the OR tomorrow) Dee

I hope he does play it for you! OMG! tomorrow!! How are you doing? Gigee

I'm much better now that I got my authorization from BCBS (3:30 yesterday afternoon, thank you!) I was wigging before Misty called, threatened to go postal if I didn't hear anything by the end of the day yesterday. Boy I really get *****y when I'm hungry! LOL Kim Smith got her approval too. Looser bench here we come!!! Dee

I didn't wanna know about the insurance. I got a call the day before from Misty letting me know all was well. Didn't know when they submitted or when they got the approval. I chose to stay ignorant lol. By the time you get this you will be on the loser's bench... WELCOME! It is a good journey and parts of you will feel so much better so fast. Just ask my knees I'm praying for you! Gigee

Losing too fast and that is a bad thing! Follow Dr orders....you know don't exercise, eat salt and put on heavier clothing so you can add some pounds back. LOL I am so glad your 3 monther went well. Debbie

Me too! And I'll do the heavier clothing and klunky shoes next time. Just you watch! lol Gigee

WOW Gigee. 72 lbs in 3 months. You are my new hero. Course I wouldn't want the problems that you have had. I'll settle for my own problems thank you. Keep up the great work. Do what the Dr. says. They know best. You have to be feeling good about the weight loss. Keep working on the protein and water. My last visit I was told I could back off the protein a little. Go figure. Add salt and less exercise. Too much of a good thing. Gotta control ourselves a little. Hopefully everything else will fall into place for you. Can't wait to see you. Hope you can come on Thursday nite or Saturday morning. TT you soon. ((HUGS)) Elissa

Somehow I feel justified eating these Fritos *grin*. I will try to be there Thursday, no promises but I will definitely be there on Saturday! *hugs* Gigee
