Visit to PCP

Oct 21, 2011

Today I had a follow up appointment with my PCP. Haven't seen her since before my wls. I said "hi" to her when she passed me in the hallway. She didn't acknowledge me an I felt like she had lost her friendly compassionate attitude. When she came into the exam room later, she did a double take and was stunned. She couldn't get over the visible difference. It's great to hear from friends and family, but when your doctor keeps smiling and saying "I just can't get over how good you look!" That makes your day.

The nurses taking my weights and measures thought there was something wrong with the scales. They kept checking and rechecking. They even weighed themselves to make sure it was accurate. It was so funny watching them and their confusion. They finally asked if I had done "something" to lose so much weight...so I told them. They were so excited and were telling their other co-workers.

What a fun visit! All my tests are fine, no deficiencies, but the dr wants me to keep an eye on my blood pressure for a while. She was amazed that my sleep apnea is gone, I sleep all night long with no snoring...I have a witness My IBS is gone, having a predictable tummy is wonderful! Nuff said 'bout that...
