Had my Three Month check up



Recommended Posts

Perfect labs. That was music to my ears.

Perfect normal sugar. Perfect normal cholesterol. Perfect normal Vitamin levels. Absolutely every value was in the normal range.

When the hell has that ever happened before? It felt like a huge accomplishment.

More good news. Next month I'll be weening off my omeprazole....which will leave me on exactly one Rx medication....thyroid.

Perfect blood pressure, no meds.

Doc thinks I'm going overboard on walking. LOL. I have a little back and hip pain (greatly improved, but still reminds me its there from time to time) that he thinks would benefit if I cut down to 12,000 steps a day. I might bump up my swimming...which he thought was a fair.

I'm currently on a stall. Probably menstrual bloat. Doc is satisfied with my weight loss, thinks I'm doing great.

Saw nutritionist, too...no major changes. She laughed at my new love of oatmeal.

Best news of all: No more appointments...for three freakin months!!!! Whew! Man, that feels good.

I feel like this year has been one constant doctor's appointment.

Feels good to be free of the poking and prodding for a while:)

Oh congrats girlie!!! That's a FABulous report!!! I'm so thrilled for you and thrilled that you're doing so well! You're an inspiration to so many of us!!! (Sorry about the back and hip pain though! I bet the water-cizing will help it!)

I love that your doctor is negotiating with you about your exercise -- bet s/he doesn't do that often!

Fantastic news @Creekimp13

I am at week 11 and had early bloods because of regular slightly odd bruising. And like you - the results are damned near perfect! Good sugars, Iron, B12, cholesterol. What a kick! (The bruising - they put down to me being more active, but we are keeping an eye on it.)

Great news! It is SO nice when you ease into only seeing the surgeon’s people once a year. I do my PCP in March and the bariatric people in October. It beats the hell out of monthly appointments!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
