March 21 - 3 month follow with PCP

Well went in for my 3 month check up with Dr. Kohl, PCP, today. Have not seen her since early December 2005, she knew I was considering the lapband but wasn't aware I had actually gotten it. Well due to good weight loss and starting an exercise routine = CURVES, I have been able to cut my diabetic meds in 1/2 and can start cutting blood pressure meds in 1/2. Over the last couple weeks my blood pressure has been dropping to low and having symptoms of HYPOtension (low BP). Hopefully when I go back to see her in June we might be able to go completely off diabetic meds and blood pressure meds. Its been 2 1/2 months since surgery and over the last couple weeks hit a plateau so going tomorrow to get another fill in my band, so hopefully can get over the hump and back to losing about 2-3 pounds a week. I feel so much better, except for head pressure from low BP. Paul and I are just working hard so we can take time off this summer when Cindy & Gene come to see us.

YIPPEE!!!

Well I am 8 weeks out and have lost another 2.6 pounds this week. For a total loss of 28.6. I cant believe I am losing so good. Some days its a real struggle to not snack in the evenings, I am doing better of trying to snack onhealthy stuff if I must snack. Hopefully things will get better as Paul starts his new job/career this week, with his good pay we will be under a little less stress regarding money issues... Its been a long winter with him being unemployeed. Heads and chin up, lets be positive ....
