Three-Month Check-up
I went for my 3-month checkup with my surgeon yesterday and everything was AWESOME!
I was a little worried he would think I wasn't compliant with the program because I haven't lost as fast as some. He said I was right on target.....technically I've lost 43 pounds since surgery. He reitterated that "lightweights" lose at a slower rate (that made me feel better!) He said to expect 5-8 pounds per month from here on out until I reach goal.
He said my labs were BETTER than perfect.....only thing that was off was my B12 (it was HIGH) which he said wasn't a problem necessarily. He said he could tell by my "good" cholesterol that I had been exercising.....Woo Hoo!!!
I left the office on cloud nine......I felt so good about my decision to have WLS!!!! I can't remember EVER leaving from a check-up with a "good" feeling!!!
Once again....thanks for all the support and info from this board, I couldn't have made it this far without ya'll!!!

Excellent! Yeah, don't worry about high B12 unless you're way way over. You can go up to 2000 on labs and be just fine.

Great news Peyton! I'm so glad you left there feeling proud of yourself.
My last cholesterol check a few weeks ago had my good cholesterol higher than it's every been. I told my doc it must be all the great exercise. How cool is it for us to even be able to say that!!
