Well I went in to have my 1 month follow up and to have my blood re-drawn to make sure nothing is wrong with me. Did blood first then the appointment. The blood work up wasn't completed by the time I was at my appointment so the Dr. suggested I make an appointment with my PCM or ObGyn due to the prolonged period, since that is not his area. LOL
He is suppose to call me if something is whacky with my blood work though on the 23rd I had blood work done and it came back perfect just low in D which he says most people are but everything else was spot on.. So yeah me!
I went and made an appointment with my PCM - no such lucy she is deployed I haven't seen her at all since I have moved here. I always end up seeing someone else. So tell me how can she be my PCM if she is deployed? It makes no sense.
Monday I will have my appointment and hope birth control will control it. I also have an eye appointment that day.
I was able to ask some questions I had such as:
Q: How big was the Bougie you used?
A: French 32
Q: Can I take NSAIDS
A: Yes
Q: This incision spot still hurts sometimes it is the only one that still hurts
A: It looks inflamed not infected so that is good (and he started talking about blood vessels cutting into it etc etc..)
Q: So should I worry about it?
A: No but if it gets worse let me know
Q: Do you thin it is necessary to get a medical alert bracelet
A: No, unless you have a lot of medications/allergies
Q: When you ran my blood work did you also check my Cholesterol levels?
A: No, it's not common in the work ups we order. The next time we do blood though remind me and we will run one for you..
Looks like in december your cholesterol was 285
Me: Yes, that was in 2007 though see.. I don't get to the Doctor much. Really in 7 years being in your office and these WLS appointments is the most I have been to the Dr for myself.
I came across a post on the VSG Vixen page I belong to on Facebook about a Green Monster.. No, not the energy drink that reminds me of TV's Jolt Cola.. LOL
It is a Green monster Smothie, consisting of fruits & vegetables.
A lot of people are doing this as I found out by searching on You Tube.
Here is supposedly the "Original" Recipe for the Green monster
