Back from a long morning at the doctor

I didn't get to see my surgeon since he's on paternity leave until the 26th. I did get my labs drawn, though. The doctor told me that before I take ANY iron or B12, they need to have a baseline for me. oooooookaaaay I guess I can understand that. In the mean time, I found out that my Midget Girl has to see another specialist. They're doing a full psych eval on her to determine if she has Autism, ODD, and ADHD. This would normally scare the **** out of me, but I'm at peace with it. They also have appointments set up with a social worker for me to make sure I'm handling stress and other issues. All in all, it's been a pretty good day. Also, seeing another pound gone on the scale is ALWAYS smile worthy. I looked at the nurse and did my happy dance. hahaha

Interesting my basline was drawn before I had surgery...

For some reason, they didn't have any labs done, other than a pregnancy test, before surgery. They pushed me away for any follow ups until now. I would be pissed if this were a civilian hospital, but I've come to expect this from the military treatment facilities.

Had mine done twice before surgery.

Congrats on your weight loss.  I am the mother of a 14 year old autistic angel.  Ill be happy to share my experiences with you if you would like.

Thank you! I don't think she has full blown Autism, but I do believe she is somewhere on the spectrum. My 10 year old stepson was recently diagnosed. I'm going to need all the help I can get! lol

Sounds like you're dealing well with a lot a stressful things right now. Atta girl! :-)
