2 month doc appointment

Well I had my 2 month appointment with Dr. Loggins this morning.  I was 214 (started process at 268 and was 251 day of surgery).  So I have lost 37 pounds since surgery woohoo! All my labs were excellent.  Although I had one boo boo.  He was asking about the prevacid...and I was like...oh you mean the stuff we were supposed to take for the first month?  Oh yeah.  Because I don't know where I got that info.  Aparrently it was for the first 6 months...so I have to get to the pharmacy today for a refill lol. One cool thing he said was that I have lost 46% of my excess body weight from when I started.  So he said I was well on track to definitely meet (and exceed if I keep it up) the 60-80% in the first year :) I want to thank you all for the support you have given me....it truly has been a huge help.  I hope I can give back just as much!

That is wonderful news. You are doing an awesome job. How is the Gym going? I keep toying with the idea, but right now it is so nice outside I would rather just walk outside.

The gym is going great.  I have been able to go 4-5 times per week.  My mom watches the babies and I go when they are napping.  I am doing the treadmill, elliptical and some toning.  I am really enjoying the break from the babies....and the exercise is a bonus.

Tanya, My God you guys are just amazing me. 37 lbs. in 2 months and labs are good, can you ask for more?? Great great job !!! I am so impressed.   NOw! what is prevacid for? when did you get the script for that? I wonder if I will need that too??? I have such a hard time, with what i'm suppose to do, I always miss something. I think I"ve got all the pro op stuff, and the post shots, this is why having a lap band/loggins patient around to ask questions to would be nice.  But, I just love you guys anyway, will just have to ask more questions.   congratulations Tanya, how is your mom doing??? she getting excited?  when is her pre op appt?   tell her I say hi.. cheryl

Previcid is anti ulcer meds.

I got the prescription for that with the levonox and all the other stuff pre-op.  It is to help prevent ulcers I believe.  I wonder if you would need to take it with the band though since your stomach won't have to actually heal?

Tanya!  You are doing awesome!  It still amazes me how much everyone is losing!  It's great!  Keep up the great job!  congrats!!!!!!!!  Ruth

Tanya, Oh my goodness, your such an inspiration, keep up the great work I hope to follow in your footsteps.   Judy

Great job, Tanya!  Excellent report!!  You are doing awesome!  How are you feeling?  My energy is so high now!!

I am feeling great.  The exercise helps with my energy a lot.  I am so thrilled with this whoile process so far...no complaints.
