my dr. appt....
thanks everybody! i thought i would post an update rather than reply to each poster on the what's new thread...
i had picked up the paperwork yesterday so that part was done! the nurse is great- i enjoy her when she takes care of michael..and she made me feel very at home...when i mentioned heart; she immediately moved me into the room with the ekg machine-just in case !
michael went back with me - the doc checked over and we talked; he decided to do the ekg so michael went out-patty (nurse) did her thing and then doc and i talked- my heart is good! phew!!! that was my fear......we decided together to wait til i have ins (which hopefully will be early april ) to do the blood work needed---tho he is concerned about my thyroid and we can't tell much til we do the blood...anyhow- he and i talked a long time about my wls and about other stresses that i have been under with michael and etc...and it felt comfortable....
the bill was over $200 because of the ekg but i paid most of it today--it's payday and it was worth it!
he is concerned also about the b12 and did say they can do shots in the office if needed...again- not alot we can do til we do the blood draw!between the thyroid, b12 and iron...we'll get it sorted out!
anyhow-glad that i went.....now; back to the couch!
and you--all of you----take your vitamins and supplements!!!!!!!!!!!
i had taken some time off from them..ouch! now i am paying!

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Thanks for letting us know Margo, I have been very concerned. Even tho You don't have all the answers right now I am glad your heart is ok and more information will be coming. I needed that reminder ( I need a kick in the behind) I have become lazy, and there just never seems to be the $$ for my vitamins. I should just get some Flintstones, they are better then taking nothing.

Glad the partial report was pretty good......hope you can get the blood work soon.....no way you can do it before april?? Just talking to the Doc, I'm sure, helped.
Now take your vitamins and supplements and be a good girl!
Will keep you in my prayers.

Done! Your Ticker:
Margo,
So glad to hear that you have ruled out your fear and the rest is probably related to your stresses and the lack of taking your vites! Please do a better job of taking care of you, you are one sister on here I look forward to seeing on a very regular basis ;) Hoping to be able to make the trip to Michigan in July and make a stop to see you along the way!
Hugs and much love, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Glad you went to the Dr. and the news is good.
I need to get my bloodwork done also. I had talked to the WLS nurse awhile back and she said she would send me the prescription to have it done, but I haven't seen it yet. Guess I need to call and remind her.
Take care and Take Those Vitamins. I watch Walgreens and sometimes they have buy 1 get 1 free. That is when I buy my B12.
I guess you all have Walgreens where you live. There is one on every corner around here.

From your friend from the March Board I am so glad you checked things out & it was
not your heart. That is Good. The other will fall into place. I am going to a new doc & they are doing one thing at a time for now. Just did blood work, ggetting approvals for
more stuff coming. Take care of you, I know how much stress you have dealt with with
Michaels illness. So please take those vit's in the mean time till you can get caught up.
Any is better than none.

Aloha sweet Margo.....You are one of the ones I have felt badly about not responding to. I have watched your progress and worried for you. It is good news that you saw a doc and have some ideas of what is going on. Sometimes just saying out loud to someone what your worries are can help. I should know that as a psychologist!! Funny how I don't take my own advice!!
The mention of Vit. B12 reminded me of a post about a man who ended up in the hospital with serious complications because he quit taking that supplement. It is one of those that absolutely cannot be eliminated by WLS people I'm told.
Please take good care.

Hello Margo....sorry it has taken me so long to post a reply. I just got back in town and I am finely checking out the board.
I am glad you went to the doctor and there isn't a problem with your heart. He sounds like a really nice person. I am sure you will get this figured out together.
Good luck...I wish you the best!!
Love ya....(((HUGS)))....connie d
