Year appt. today

So I'm headed out in about 2 minutes for Boston and my 1 year appt. !! I think everything should go well - little concerned about levels but I do take everything (except my calcium which I forget sometimes)  but I have lots of dizzy spells - which I'm hoping is just not enough water .......

Had to cancel my nutrionist appt. though - disappointed but - my insurance will only cover $40.00 and they are charging $200. + for 15 minutes !! But she said I could email so......


Wish my luck ! lol This will be the first time I travel in ALONE - I think I need luck for that more than anything else !!! lol

good luck!  i'm sure you'll do great! 
can't wait to hear how it goes.  i get lightheaded when i stand up, thought it might be low bp or something.  my doc said it's nothing to be concerned about. 
enjoy boston, i loved living there!

Good Luck Lisa,

Tell us how you make out with your levels and stuff... I too have had recent dizzy spells and I attributed it to not enough water, I know Im not getting enough but damnit I try.  Btw, I may have some size 12s for you if your interested in jeans and capris and shorts and stuff... lemme know.

I would love them  !! Thanks !

The dizzy spells are most likely dehydration - so he says ......

I'm hoping to make the next meeting you have - although I'm not sure - maybe I can pick up the stuff then......

thanks !
 
Message me with the date of the next meeting if you would.....

good luck lisa im sure everythign will be fine :)

GOOD LUCK LISA!!!!   Enjoy that Boston  ride....lol


Let us know who you make out....

I'm geting the dizzy spells too I think it realted to dehydration so trying to up my liquids especially while working out...
Last night was rough at the gym  it was 80* in the class studio I drank a shaker cup and a 1/2 during my workout I have never drank that much in 1 time..

Well I'm back ...... I did not enjoy the ride - very stressful. lol But I did get there with out getting lost so.........

I have to say I was a little disappointed......

I waited about 30 minutes - I know big deal but I truly think our time as patients is just as valuable as theirs. So it annoys me ...... And then I DID NOT see my doctor but another associate. He was very nice but...........

In any case I had not had an order for blood work so I questioned him and he said YES should have had one - so we took care of it - so I'll probably get the results in a week or two.

He also asked if I was happy and explained that I would have to work extra hard now that the year was up - to reach my goal - and I informed him that I had already reached it and he said - good - because I really think we're you are is good ........
\
And that about sizes it up...... lol


Not a bad visit just not with my doctor.....

As far as the dizzy spells - he believes they are due to dehydration too  so keep drinking I will.........

Thanks for caring everyone !!!

I totally feel you on the waiting thing .. it's wicked annoying - and not seeing your Dr. too!  I would be disappointed too if I didn't get to see my surgeon.  I'm glad everything else came back good!  Maybe the water will help with the dizzy spells - I've been noticing that is happening to me too.

See you May 3rd!!!! 

YEAH YOU MADE IT SAFELY IM GLAD EVERYTHING WORKED OUT BESIDE THE WHOLE WAITING THING LOL. HEY CAN YOU CBRING THE TIME TRAVELERS WIFE AND SURGERY BOOK MONDAY I CAN BOROW .. TY

It seems like just about everyone who has had wls gets occasional dizziness (me too!)  Maybe it's low blood sugar cuz we don't get a lot of calories anymore.  I'm guessing that because prior to wls I had the same type of dizziness whenever I had been on a diet for a while.  Congratulations on reaching your goal!
