did they check your thyroid level with your labs? just curious..those two symptoms could possibly indicate a low thyroid (hypothyroidism)

After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.

Yea I know...its been a while. I just posted a small update to my profile but wanted to drop in and say hi to all here. As of today I am 82 pounds down. I seem to be eating ok but have had issues with a bit of memory loss. My labs look good but I have upped my B12 to twice a day. It seems to have helped. Also noticed cold hands. I moved recently so life has been hectic and shows no signs of slowing down anything soon. I do have current pics posted to my profile as well.
Hope you all are doing good!

Topic: RE: Plastic Surgeon in Woodbridge, VA area
Hi there,
I went to Dr. Mitchel Krieger @3700 Joseph Siewick Dr. Suite 301 Fairfax VA 22033 phone number 703-262-0904. He is NOT�to be mistaken with Dr. ANDREW�KRIEGEL�of Bluepoint. Quite a few of us who post on the VA�forum have gone with Dr. Krieger. He and his entire staff understand WLS patients and are wonderful to work with.
It was definitely worth the drive from Fredericksburg to Fairfax. I am absolutely THRILLED with the work Dr. Krieger did on me. I'm at my WLS goal and maybe I'll lose a few more pounds, but the biggest thing before you have your plastic surgery is that you have maintained your weight for at least 6 months. I plan to have my arms done next. I had an extended TT done in January where Dr. Krieger removed almost 11 pounds of excess skin. I only had 1 event with rashes ( I try like a banshee to not get them!) and was advised that my health insurance would not pay for it, so I paid out of pocket and used Care Credit.
Hope this helps.
Diana
