six month checkup

Just got back from my 6 month, and things are looking great!   All nutritional levels were normal, with just two multis a day, no calcium or b12, cholesteral was great, BP great, diabetes completely under control, and life is wonderful!   I am 10 lbs from goal at 90 lbs down, and energy level is through the roof.   Although the golf course opened today, the weather sucks, so I can't try out my new push cart.   I wouldn't have thought of walking in the past, but I have been walking with the dog on the course ever since the snow left, and can make 9 holes at a fast pace on a very hilly course.   I think 18 would be no problem.   Unfortunately, by the time the weather is supposed to clear, I will be on vacation, although that really is not all that unfortunate!   I will be trekking thru Nepal and northern India, so I don't really feel too bad.   I did ask at the Dr. visit about the problem of a bacterial intestinal infection, since I figure the odds are about 50-50 that sometime during the month I will be there I will have a problem.   They did recommend a prophelactic course of Cipro, since dehydration could be a major problem with the RNY.   I am waiting for a call back from my PCP.   Not worried, but an ounce of prevention....  Will post from Nirvana.

That sounds like a great six month post op report. I hope mine is as good next week. (My appt got scheduled a month late FYI).
