After reading some posts in another thread, I realize how truly blessed I am to have my PCP. She scheduled an appt 2 weeks before my surgery to help me prepare mentally & physically. This included taking me off 2 of my 3 blood pressure meds after surgery, and having me take only 1/2 of my main bp med daily.
I had a follow up with her yesterday, 2 weeks aftrr surgery, to check my bp. 123/77 Woohoo! She said in the next several months she's weaning me off that last bp med!
She spent at least 15 min with me, gave me a Vit. B12 injection & told me I should be taking B12 daily. Evidently my bariatric center forgot to tell me about that.
She encouraged me so much about my progress so far. Her scale showed I'm down 20 lbs.
The best part about all of this: she had WLS 3 months ago! I mean, how does someone like me get to be this lucky? As I said, I am truly blessed to have such a knowledgeable guide on my side throughout this journey.
When I read about some of y'alls struggles with judgmental PCP s, my heart aches for you. I wish I could somehow clone mine & share her with you. Please keep searching until you find the right fit. ❤❤
