1 yr follow-up visit with surgeon's office

Sep 21, 2009

I met the new nurse, Jen, and the new physician, Dr. Erika Griffen at my surgeon's office today.  They were both very pleasant :-)   The labs that were done turned out great!  I am so relieved to hear that!!  Dr. Griffen ordered a bone density scan and a couple more labs.  It turns out that the lab slip I had turned in for this appointment, which I received at my six month appointment, did not order everything I needed for this one year follow-up, because it was supposed to be for my nine month check-up, which I could not afford to go to.  Oops!  Oh well...they were pleased with my status, so far...and that's all that matters to me.  My BMI went from 43 to 27.  I am allowed to stop taking my Zantac because I have had no heartburn, acid reflux or nauseau.  I can now take a regular multivitamin capsule, instead of chewables, if I want to.  Blood pressure is great.  No edema.  No pain.  Yeah!
