I had to re-book my 3 month follow up because I could not get time off work. I cancelled well in advance via answering machine but it took days to get through to a live person to re-book the appointment. They were booking more than a month later at that time. So, my 3 month follow up is tomorrow at Humber (4 months and a bit post op) lol

I'm thinking my iron is low, I've been looking very pale lately despite taking iron everyday. I also want them to check for orthostatic hypotension since I get dizzy going from sitting to standing. I will ask them to check hormone levels since I have no sex drive at all.

Is there anything else I should ask about? (I'm already hoping that I don't get the dietician that makes people upset) 

After the appointment I'm going to pick up a couple of pearly conures to come home with me so I can hand feed them. Yay.

Is there anyone else going to be there tomorrow?

You can eat more salt, it can help the blood pressure, also be sure you're not dehydrated.

Re low iron, that's a terrible feeling, hope they can fix it.

What are pearly conures?

Your blood pressure may be dropping with the weight loss. I have gone off some of my meds but because of a heart condition I can not go off all of them. I have the sit stand problem often especially after exercise. They will probably check your blood pressure at the appointment.

Well the gals at work have checked my BP at rest and I've been a perfect 120/80.
I was worried a bit about over hydration and imbalance and for a bit the gatoraid G20 helped with it, but lately it hasn't been effective.

Pearly conures are a type of small parrot.
