Hospital tour

Jul 19, 2011

I had my tour of KP tonight, I was about 5 minutes late and wouldn't you know that the tour was pretty much over.  I made it into the conference room for questions and suggestions, but was given a quick walk about the 3rd floor aftewards. The nurse, Julia B....totally cool and very confident about the surgery. Said not to worry, KP HC does at least 20 surgeries per week and that the sleeve is a much more simple operation that the bypass.  The rooms on the 3000 are pretty small but I get a private bathroom with shower. I don't plan on showering while there, but it is nice that is is available if I want to later.

Nice to know that i was the smallest of the three in attendance, but their surgeries are early next week while I have to wait 3 weeks. I started getting anxious about the surgery, with a fear of death or major disability. I was surprised that in pre op the nurses weigh you now and if you've gained weight the surgeon will cancel surgery right there.  It has been done several times now and I was warned a few times not to gain any weight from my preop appointment with the surgeon.  I have to get going on my liquid diet because I want to come in at the last weight I was with Dr Mun.

So, I hope he will not be too angry about my 23 pound gain after my LapBand was removed. I am losing weight from that high but don't know if that will be enough or him to keep my surgery date.  We will see!  Update coming August 1st, my pre-op appointment.
