3 month post-op

Nov 13, 2009

Well, I went for my 3 month visit to Dr. Houston yesterday. I was told that I'm doing great. I've lost 34% of my weight so far and the expectation at 6 months out is 50%. So I'm ahead of schedule, which is great. I mentioned the severe cramps that I've been having since the surgery. He said it was rare but that he has seen it happen. My colon is having spasms and he gave me meds for it but he's not sure if it will do any good. He said that it should get better as my body heals from the surgery and that it could take up to a year for my bowels/colon to adapt to the new me. I just hope that the medicine he gave me helps out with this or I might as well just get used to it!

On another note, I had my labs drawn yesterday. Wow, they drew 9 vials of blood from me!!! I asked her why she didn't just hook up a bag! lol. Hopefully when I get the results next week they will be good. Also, I know others that are having difficulty with losing hair from lack of vitamins being absorbed. I'm using this shampoo, conditioner, and oil from Sally's beauty supply called nutri-ox  for thining hair and some volumizing hair spray and it's working great so far! Just a little FYI for anyone needing the info.
