well I had my 4th fill on September 23rd and for the 4 weeks prior I have lost 4 pounds.  I was a little dissapointed with the numbers but my doctor assures me I'm doing great.  I've been incredibly sick with a cold for the past 3 weeks and maybe the cold medication is holding back on the weight loss because of the extra sugar in cold medication and the water retention that's a side affect of the medication itself.

Went to a walk in clinic and apparently I have high blood pressure and cholesterol.  Doctor wanted to treat me and I took the prescription.....why.....the guy made me feel like an idiot and even told me that 90% of bariatric patients gain all their weight plus plus!!  After paying $17,000.00 I didn't need to hear that.  I know the statistics, I know the risk, I don't need to hear it from some little fat freak that thinks because he has a medical degree he can make me feel like crap!  My question to him was shouldn't these 2 conditions be improving with a total weight loss of 56 pounds considering they weren't high prior to surgery.......come to think of it, he didn't even answer my question!

Well that's enough ranting, gotta run!  Take care all and you all have a good week ahead!
