Today was "see the dr" day. First was to new PCP. My hemoglobin A1C was up to 7.3 which is not good. I have to start checking my blood sugar 2x day and up one of my medicines. My other alternative was to start taking insulin. Not gonna happen. I was weighed and measured. Wgt 274 (with shoes on), hgt 5'8"1/4. I left a little down. I hate coming out of denial. Denial is a warm fuzzy place. I love it there.

The other dr visit was to the surgeon's office who is going to do my lap band surgery. My wgt there was 273 (after eating lunch, shoes off) and my hgt was 5'9". I grew!! I am scheduled for all my pre surgery tests for 2/11 and visit to see dr. gornichec on 2/19. I'm excited that things are moving forward.

Starting tomorrow, I will be walking 30 min a day and watching what i eat. I need to get my A1C under 7. This is possible. I admit I'm not as good as I should be about taking my medicine. I will also start checking my blood sugar 2x day.
