Yes it did. I really hate taking pills, although the Centrum Multivitamin doesnt bother me at all.

OMG I can't wait to get where you are and drop some of the pills I take... So if I am calculating correctly, it took approx 3 months for you to get the results to drop those meds...

Keeping mental notes of when I might expect the same for myself. I know everyone is different, but gives me more hope !!

WOO HOO... GREAT JOB !

Congratulations! I'm hoping for similar results - now I know it can be achieved. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations Dave !! :whoo::whoo: I must say, the only reason I decided on the band is because I was suddenly being given 1 med after another and found myself taking a cocktail of them each day... not for me. Lost my sister to pancreatic cancer 4 years ago and I didn't want to end up the same.

I know what you mean. It seemed like my meds were increasing all the time. Now if I can get my good cholesterol to come up, I can bail on some more of them. I want to get down to just the Vitamins daily. Gotta have a goal

That's awesome!!!

I was wondering when I'd have to see my PCP again and do new blood work. I thought my surgeon had mentioned around the 3 month mark but I forgot to ask at my visit last week.

I'm curious to see how my cholesterol is doing as well.

You are doing so great!!!

Thanks. I was very surprised at the cholesterol number too. I see my PCP every month, but after this last visit, he wants to see me every other month. Hope everything else is going good with you. Have a great day, gonna go for another walk....Dave

For sure Dave. I'm hoping when I get another 10 kilos off then this may help get rid of another tablet. Good luck and I hope you are down to Vitamins only very soon! :clap2:
