,

Can you get in to your regular Dr.? I go and see my regular Dr for

follow up appt's. I go every 6 months and have her run blood test. I

think it would be okay if you continue to lose weight as long as you

are eating healthy, protein first, then a veggie or fruit then a

carb. It is also very important you take your vits everyday.

I would go see my surgeon I would wait for 3 hours in the waiting

room just to go in for 5 Min. and for him to say you are doing

great. Me seeing my PCP every 6 months is working great and if I do

have someting pop up that is WLS related I will go see my surgeon

then if my PCP can't figure it out.

Good luck!!!!!

Hugs!!
