Saw my PCP today and got GREAT NEWS!!!

Hey everybody... I saw my PCP today... He is very thrilled with me right now... Almost as thrilled with me as I am myself... Last week I went and had my lab work done in preparation for this visit. It was all so good that I almost danced a jig right there in the waiting room. Now keeping in mind that before surgery, I was taking 2000mg of Glucophage (Metformin) and 10mg Glucotrol, as well as BP meds and Reflux meds... And I haven't had any of this since the night before surgery... Well, my labs were fantastic... My HgA1c was down to 5.4(normal) from 9.8 pre-op. My liver enzymes are now down in the low normal range, and haven't been this low in well over 10 yrs. My cholesteral is down to 200 from around 250 pre-op. My thyroid levels are to a point where he is lowering my thyroid meds to wean me, and possibly able to come off of it on my next visit in 3 months. My blood pressure is 120/82. And according to his scales, I am down 85 lbs from my last pre-op visit with him. According to mine and my surgeons scales I am only down 81 lbs (these are the scales I go by) So, to say the least, I am thrilled... I haven't had a PCP visit this great in many years... Now if I could just get my little one out of the hospital, move Arizona a little closer to GA, and win the lottery, my life would be near perfect. Hope everybody else's day has been as great as mine!!!! Susan Lap RNY 12-1-04 285-204-155 (-81)
