visit with primary doctor today ****** 04/03/09 *******

Apr 03, 2009

I had my follow up visit with my primary care physician this morning and it was a VERY good meeting.  I was so happy with the scale today.... showed I weighed 270 1/2 pounds.  That means since I started my weight loss journey back in August, I have managed  to drop 86 pounds ( so,in 7 months I have had total weight loss percentage of 24%).  OK, back to what the doctor said.  We reviewed my lab work, the results were really good.  I was most happy with my A1C number coming in at 5.7, not bad considering it was 8.5 back in the fall.  The doctor said to stop taking the blood pressure pill and to cut the dosage of the Metformin down from 4 pills a day to just one in the morning and one in the evening.  He wants to see me again in July and then he will decide, if labs are good, to take me off all my medication !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
