No More MEDS!!!

I went to my PCP yesterday to ask about all the medicines I am currently taking. He told me to quit one all together, stop taking one after the bottle was done and monitor my blood pressure so I can possibly get off that too! That was the best news EVER. I despise taking prescription medication so I am super excited. I also found out that I have lost 16lbs in a week and a half. INSANITY. I am so happy I made the decision to be banded and have gotten a second chance at LIFE! Have a great day!!!:smile:

Wow, congrats. You are having a great start. Keep up the good work. I did 17lbs the first 2 weeks but 2lbs a week since then which is normal. I had my first fill yesterday with Dr Snow.

I am so happy for you! My date is in 17 days and I am nervious but excited at the same time. If I can get off all the meds I take it will be a true blessing along with the weight loss.

THUNDER WHEELS - What is the fill process with Dr. Snow? I was originally going through AIGB but I think I would rather go to his office!

LKGRUBB- I was very nervous up until the day of surgery and then just calm because I knew I was making a good decision.

ROAD KING - Good luck! I am glad I was approved and scheduled within a week or I would have driven myself crazy thinking about it!

Wow that is fantastic news for you gingydilly. I seemed to have gained about a pound since surgery but am not too worried as I am sure it will move down again soon. Started walking again yesterday so that should see a change.

I had been walking about 3 miles a week for the last 6 weeks or so but just can't get motivated to get back to it since surgery. Hopefully I can do at least a mile this week. Today was my first day back at work so I am just taking it slow!!!

Congrats Gingydilly! What a relief to be coming off all of the scripts! I can't wait. Hope I can do as well after my surgery!

Keep it up!
