Three-Month Check-up

Nov 12, 2009

I had my 3 month check up today.  Since surgery I have lost 40.7 pounds.  The surgeon and nutritionists said I was doing great. 
I had some labs done at the end of September and my cholesterol was 149.  I was still taking this medicine.  I decided to stop taking this and see what happened since I knew I was going to have more labs in November.  My cholesterol was back up to 215 so I have to start back taking the Lovastatin.  I was sure hoping to not have any prescriptions, but he said sometimes this is genetic and since both my parents have to take medicine for this it might be something I have to continue.
My A1c was 5.8.   I have not taken any diabetes medicine since surgery. 
I do need to try and increase my exercise.
This has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself.
