Getting ready for the ol' endoscopy

Jan 03, 2013

Had a phone call with a nurse this afternoon, to get me ready for Monday's endoscopy. The nurse I spoke to may well be the world's nicest person. She was super charming! Anyway, she asked a bunch of health history questions as well as asking about any vitamins and medications I'm taking. The big surprise for me was that I should stop taking cod liver oil for the time being because apparently cod liver oil is a blood thinner.

Will wonders never cease?

In other bariatric surgery news, I've had a perfectly wretched December. I've eaten the world, out of depression and anxiety and stress. I have attained heights of work-related freakingthehellout that I never would have dreamed possible. ANYWAY, excuses aside, it's time to get serious about losing the 25ish pounds that have to go before my surgery can happen. Ugh.

Typing about it on the internet will make me stick to my plan, right?
