Pre Op WLJ 7/22

Jul 24, 2014

So last Thursday 7/17 I had my 1 on 1 with Doc Ceppa.  I like him.  I think he is going to do a good job.  He made me feel at ease for the most part even though my insides are ready to burst.  It is a mixture of sheer fear, excitement, impatience, and longing to get this extra person off me.  The day will be here before I know it and I am sure, I just have to keep reminding myself. 

So at my appointment I won’t dwell on the nurse that weighed me in… (she was a witch).  You would think that they would put a someone at that position with at least a smidge of personality.  She barely looked at me except to take my vitals and so on and she was nice enough to inform me that I am Obese.  Thank you I had no idea, I was wondering why I was I putting myself through the stress of having weight loss surgery. Anyway I said I wouldn’t dwell so I will move on.  I have to lose 21 lbs which will make the surgery easier.  Doc Ceppa said that if I whether or not I lose the weight as long as I show him I am trying he will do the surgery, however if I do lose the weight then instead of having 2 weeks of liquid diet pre-op… I will only have 4 days.  Tell me that man doesn’t know how to motivate.  I can do this. 

There were several things to do be done while I was off too.  I had to set up apt with the Nutritionist and the Psychiatrist….done and done.  I had to do a stool sample … done (gross).  I had to get an EKG... done.  And I had to get blood work done...  done!!  I was supposed to get a chest x-ray but I just had one done in Feb., so Ket (my patient rep) told me it was ok they could just use that one, so done!

Next stop is Aug 7^th Nutrition Class at 3pm… meanwhile.  Eat right and exercise.

I can do this!!

I know I can!!
