Finally.....some good news!!!!!!!!!
My PCP is sooo awesome! I had all my 2 month labs drawn on Monday and TODAY, I got a letter from my PCP. (She had requested a couple of labs too!) Guess what?!?!? I am no longer diabetic, by the criteria they use! WOOHOO!! 
My hg A1C was down to 5, from 6.5 pre-op, which, she says is way below the diabetic cut off! YIPPEE!! Also, my cholesterol is like awesome! She did say that I need to increase my HDL (good cholesterol) as it's a bit low, but she's not too worried about it. She also said, quickly, that my liver and kidney function tests were normal and my electrolytes were normal. I suspect that Dr Loggins will go over this stuff in more detail tomorrow at my 2 month check-up! (2 Months already....it's REALLY hard to believe!!!!!! WOW!) I was really excited about the diabetes thing tho!!!! Thanks for letting me share my good news!!!!
Hope everyone is enjoying this WONDERFUL weather!!!!!!! hugs........Ruth

Your the best support and i'm so happy you are here. and as for the weather today was totally PERFECT.... if it could stay like this all summer. hugs, cheryl
I too am no longer diabetic since my band isn't it GREAT !!!!!! I am sure Dr. Loggins will have only good things to say to you at your 2 month check up you are doing WONDERFUL ~~~~hugs Linda 
Ruth ~ that is FANTASTIC!!!!!
Today's weather was perfect! I went for my walk at lunch and it was beautiful out. I may have 3 people join me for my walk tomorrow ~ I'm really excited to maybe have some company even if it's just one day. The 15 minutes by myself is nice too though but I'm hoping to gain a new friend. I miss having friends at work to talk to, hardest part of the new job.
Anyway...Congratulations on your AWESOME BLOOD WORK RESULTS.
Super news, Ruthie!!! This surgery is a miracle!!! I too have no diabetes, my blood pressure since surgry is completely normal-and I have had HBP since I was 42.
