I am going in to see my surgeon today for my one year follow up. And yes, I'm nervous. I haven't seen him since 3 months post-op. I was supposed to go in May for a 6 month, but I didn't go. This morning the scale sits at 142. I usually gain about 2lbs around this time every month. Yes, TMI gentlemen. Sorry but it happens. Anyway, I feel like I'm going in to a weekly weigh in at weight watchers or a diet doctor's office. I feel like I'm supposed to weigh as little as possible. I'm just really nervous he's going to tell me something is wrong with my blood work or something. I went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago and got some test results back last week that my liver function test is high so it's had me really stressed. I called my surgeon right away because honestly, my PCP has no idea what to do with me now that i'm a sleeve patient. It's like I'm a mystery to her. She can barely treat me with a cold. So I'm sure I'll go in today and he'll take as much blood from me as he did pre-op (9 vials!!) and we'll just see. I hope nothing is wrong. And I hope he says I did a good job and can offer some guidance on what to do now to maintain because I'm a bit clueless on that.
Wish me luck.
