my 3 mo visit!!

My surg was 5-13 and today I had my "3" month checkup... My official wt is 201.6... soooooooooooooo close, soooooooooo close. My scale here at home weighs me more... so I like theirs better. My labs were perfect. and nothing more for me to do except keep doing what Ive been doing... Did yall understand that???? He advised me to start taking some pepcid AC or prilosec as more and more folks are beginning to pop up with ulcers and better to prevent than to treat after they already exist. Told me that about 6 mo is when old habits try to sneak back in... so be on guard for those... Otherwise my wt lost is ahead of the game ??? WTH 54 lbs in 3 months is ahead of the game??? Except when I look at the big picture that is ALMOST 50% of my excess wt... Goal is 150... So 51.6 more pounds and I will be at goal!!!!!

Good for you Karen. I am so proud of you. I start my journey today. I will be leaving in a little bit to go to my class. I am hoping that I can get everything done by the end of the year PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!! Heather

sorry I haven't replied. I had a lot to think about. I went to the meeting tonight and it went well. I really know that this is what I need to do. Unfortunately so do a lot of other people. They could not even book my first intake appt until Nov 1st. So, we will see also I have to go and see my specialist in Boston and find out what is up with the PE that I had in Feb and find out if I am in the clear to have surgery or not. So, I will just have to wait and see. I really want to do this but I don't think that I will be able to do it by the end of the year. But, as soon as I have my appt in Boston I am going to call the ARNP and tell her what is up and let her know that I would love to be squeezed in if she has any cancellations. So, I play the waiting game again but they did say that I can start loosing my pre op weight now. I can just have it documented by my PCP and then give her the sheet so I may have it all lost by the time that I see her. Heather
