7 month photos and question???

Hi guys...I finally got around to having Madison take some updated pictures of me at 7 months out.  I still have a long way to go, but I am feeling great!  Notice in one of the pictures my muscle in my calf!  My legs are getting very muscular!  I had to laugh, because when Maddie was taking these pictures, she said "isn't this illegal mom?"  I told her this was for my weight loss friends to see and no one else.  I guess I don't know if it's good or bad that my 6 year old said something like that?????

Okay, to my question.  I have a doctors appointment on Fri at 10am in Hoffman Estates with Dr.Wallce.  I asked about fasting before I come, so I can have blood drawn and they said that they won't draw blood for my 6 month check up and not for lap band patience.  I guess I'm a little confused because last time I was there Tenisha "T" said they will draw blood next time and now they are saying no?  I told her then that I live far away and I dont' want to drive all the way back just for blood work if I was given the wrong info. What do you guys think I should do?  The lady on the phone said to be safe, I could fast until my appointment.  A NO!!!  Did any of you with the band get blood work done?  Let me know what you guys think of the pictures and with the blood work thing.  I'll talk to you all later!!!

Hi Kim, you are looking good girl,

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

Hi Kim. You look awesome! I haven't seen you in months and probably wouldn't have recognized you at all. You do look different. Those legs, oh my!

So you're seeing Dr. Wallace on Friday and I 'm seeing Dr. Guske on Friday. Too bad we weren't closer in distance. I miss you my friend!

Congrats on your awesome success!

Hugs and Love,
Lucy

Kim we have different docs but mine doesn't do blood work  on lap band patients. Since we do not have problems with absorbing nutrients.  So who ever told you most like just got it confused with RNY info!
