June 10/13 - 3 Mth Appt (4 mths post-op)

Jun 12, 2013

Today was my 3 month follow-up (to the last appointment at six weeks). I seen Monique, Dr. B. and then Rhinette.  Just standard stuff with Monique although she didn't take my blood pressure or vitals. I was down 68 pounds but had literally just ate before going to the appointment so it should have been closer to 70 lbs. I've gone from a BMI 57 to 46. I was only with Monique about 10 minutes before going to wait for Dr. B.

Dr. B was pleased with my results to date and seemed pleased that I walk every day (thank goodness for the dog!). That seemed to make him happy. He mentioned that right now they only measure success / progress in weight because they are a weight loss program but we might see that changing in the next year or two. He asked me if I had any questions, which I didn't but mentioned I was hated taking a chewable multi-vitamin and hadn't been taking any of my vitamins because of it - all or nothing for me! He walked me over to Rhinette and I talked to her about it. I've since picked up a bottle of the female multi-vitamins from Costco (Kirkland) and have started back on my vitamins.

Dr. B said my appointments would be every 3 months for the first year and every six months in the second. I wasn't clear on that so that clarification was helpful.

That's about it. The appointments were uneventful but I love having an excuse to go to Moncton. A couple of friends joined my sister and I for the trip and we had a great day with beautiful weather for traveling.
