6 month follow-up!

I saw Dr. Chapman in Greenville today for my 6-month follow up.  When he walked in to my little room, I jumped up and hugged him!!   And I told him how much fun I was having telling everyone what a genius he is!  My weightloss is on track and he said I looked great.  He said my next goal would be to lose 25 lbs. by my 9-month check-up.  When he examined me he said I was going to have a lot of loose skin at my tummy, i.e., my "apron."  I figured that though.  He said I didn't have an abdominal hernia, but he said I have weakness in those abdominal muscles.  I wonder if I might be able to improve this area, at least a little, with some targetted exercise to tone my tummy muscles.  My regular Dr. checked my ferratin on Monday and I'm good.  Dr. Chapman's office ordered more blood work today too to check on all my other levels. 

Sounds like things are coming along really well.  I'm so happy for you!  Keep it up!  We'll have to get together sometime during the summer.  I go to get Cara from camp tomorrow. I've mised her so much but will probably be ready for her to go back in a couple of days. haha  Talk to you soon.

Meredith,

Congratulations on your success... 

Good job Meredith!  I went for my one month follow-up.My doctor was also pleased with my progress.

woop woop!  Yay for Meredith!  You have done a wonderful job.  Keep up the good work.  
I am a bit worried about my labs.  I have not had them drawn yet but I have not always done the best taking my vitamines.  I am getting better though. 

Keep up the good work, Meredith. I know you are so happy!

Sounds like your doing REALLY well :) Best Wishes and continued success...

Meredith,
Glad to hear you are doing well. I always enjoy your positive, upbeat posts. Keep up the good work. Jackie
