nancy264 50 Posted February 6, 2014 went and saw my dr. for A1c blood work and all that good stuff, I took all my meds and told her I couldn't take 41 pills a day. she said that since I been going to the pain clinic for cortisone shots that she was taking me off 16 pain pills and watch how everything goes. im happy for that, so I will take the meds if needed. now she wants me to start taking the Vitamins I need for the after the surgery, so that will b a add on of 12 pills (don't like it) and to take the rest of my meds. Calicum carbonate, Multivitamins, Iron, Vitamin d3, B12, Biotin.< /p> Prozac, metformin, imdur, abilify, Zocor, prilosec,, Zestril, glimepiride13 pills. I am off Lamictal, Flexeril, sumatriptan, Neurontin, tramadol total of 16 pills. Now to go back and lose the 4lb I gained since I last seen my nut. making an appt today to see her even thou I don't have to I was cleared by my nut and psych, but she said I can go see her anytime if I liked. ok now I need willpower to get back on track. 1 BigGirlPanties reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

#MagicWithinme 173 Posted February 6, 2014 You still need to watch the Vitamins you take, one of my doctors is all about healthy , they have lab made Vitamins, the kind that are derived from plants, fruits, n veggies. Congratulations!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigGirlPanties 957 Posted February 6, 2014 that's awesome...so glad that is being reduced...my doctor told me calcium citrate instead of carbonate, said it goes into the system better... after surgery you will probably will be reduced again! congrats, I know you were hoping that would happen!!!

DirtyHarriett 94 Posted February 12, 2014 I take Bariatric Advantage with Iron and calcium citrate chewables. . That means three tasty treats and only three Vitamins. Much easier! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
