Hi
@Jen-2, I was just going to update my thread that you posted on regarding my “consent form challenges”. In particular, you were concerned about my surgeon and our level of trust, common channel length etc. You could see right through my writings and sensed my exact concerns perfectly.
BUT…I got some good news today, at least a little re-assuring. He and I had our final pre-op meeting and after our initial discussion, he got right to the consent form letter I sent him. He told me that he would only stop the surgery or not do the 2nd part, the switch, if it was a medical emergency and would supply all supporting documentation. He assured me that the ole “I didn’t have enough room or fatty liver” excuses were not an issue and did agree to do the surgery open if he had too. I could tell his ego was a little bit put off by someone “questioning” him or laying down guidelines, but…as long as we both know what to expect, that’s all I can do. He also said that given my super absorbing history and metabolic syndrome, that he was also going to do my common channel at around 100 cm…That was actually the best news and was a big concern of mine. I lost 13 of the 14 lbs he wanted me too, just have to keep it off until the 10th and did all the pre-op admission stuff, paperwork and
I am ready for admission!!!!
How about you??? Its sooooo close for you!! You should be seeing the finish line with only 5 days left!!
