Was She For Real? Gp's Nurse...

[caseyp 89]

I had my first appointment with my GP since I've started my journey. The nurse weighed me. I'm down 64lbs from the last time they saw me. She says nothing. Fine. We get in the room, she's going through the whole list of standard questions, then asks if I've had any changes in my health history since my last visit. I told her I had LB surgery on Aug 7. The very next thing out of her mouth was, "Your BMI is high for your height. Do you want some weight counseling?" I told her I just had LB surgery, I've lost 64 lbs and lowered my BMI by 10 points! She casually says, "Fair enough." Wow! Lol! Oh and my A1c was 4.8!!!!! My doc changed the status of my diabetes to"resolved."

Congratulations on WL& diabetes! That is awesome! I had a cardiologist like your GP, before banding. Lost 30 lbs, not one freaking word, gain 2 lbs and you would have thought it was 50lbs. It's like , how about some positive reinforcement?

Best of luck on your continued journey!

Good for you. I don't know about you...but I really don't care what a nurse says...I am doing this for me!! And boy have you been successful.

Thanks, all! I'm sure she was just going thru the motions. I suppose I have no clue what's going on in her life either. Maybe she was just having an off day.
