Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I had my 6 month check up today.The DR was pleased at my loss.Said we will check back in 6 more months to see if we need to step up the exercise routine.He couldn't believe I was still on the same dose of synthroid since before surgery.Also wanted to know why I was still taking a water pill.(My ankles used to be swelled) All this is due to my PCP not following thru on things. He was also wondering why I was still using my Cpap machine.He said I need to call them & get checked because I shouldn't need it by now. It was also suggested for me to talk to a psych since I never have since surgery. I got a b 12 shot & will start taking a supplement.He said to give the Zinc & Biotin a chance to work & the hair loss should stop.Said I shouldn't be bald.(I feel like it already!) The big bummer was their scale is off by 6 lbs from mine at home.Mine says I weigh 206,theirs says 212 >:'( I also had to do my follow up with the research team for UPMC.Next time will be the BIG blood draws,yuck.Last time pre -op they took like 26 vials. Also wanted to add,I got new Protein shake from Bariatric eating & it is awesome! Has Pieces of coconut & chocolate chips & is chocolate flavored.Scitec Nutrition - Protein Delight if anyone is interested. Kim F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
