Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Hey , I'm having lower and upper jaw surgery. I'm also getting genio surgery (I think that's what it's called), because my chin is too long. I saw the surgeon yesterday, and he says I am ready for the surgery! So hopefully it won't be too much longer!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Dawn, I'm glad to hear that your surgery went well, but sorry to hear your recovery was so terrible. Luckily I've never had a reaction to anesthesia, but I'm always worried about it because I can't think of anything worse than feeling nauseous at the same time as waking up groggy from a surgery! I think the key to keeping the pain under control is to stay ahead of it with the meds. By the time you actually feel pain the meds aren't as effective. It's good to hear your Doc is monitoring you closely. I know what you mean about not being able to take any more. I often feel in my heart that I can't take any more, but I feel like I have no choice but to keep fighting because I want a child so badly. I can't accept that my husband and I weren't meant to create a life together, yet I can't imagine surviving another loss. I pray for you that you recover well and won't need any further treatment!

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Dawn, Glad to hear your surgery went well. I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience with the anesthesia. Lets hope the cramps is a good sign that your endometrium is proliferating. After reading your email, I think that you have some updates to your profile so please contact Ivana and let her know what to change. Her email is: marigagg@...

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Sit back and enjoy the ride. You've got good people assembled to take care of you. Take it easy post-op, let yourself be pampered, come on back and let us know how everything went for you. And don't forget to drink lots of liquids as soon as you can post-op. Best wishes! > > Everyone wish me luck! My surgery is tomorrow (Wednesday) at 8:30am. > Thanks for all the helpful advice...any encouraging last words? I'm > getting REALLY nervous! Thanks!

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Tina, I think I would agree with the others when they say that after your 4th surgery, its time to get an A list doctors opinion. Can you forward your history to Dr March?? I'm sure that he would be willing to tell you at least his opinion on your situation and as this is going to be your 5th surgery, can you at least postpone it until you get a more definite answer from an A list doctor?? Why don't you email one of the A list doctors for their recommendation or do a phone consult with one of them?? I am so sorry to hear that you are going through all this still but it is time to think more deeply into this surgery because it could (and should) be your last attempt.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Tina, How was it determined that you are 100% scar free?? When is your next surgery? Sorry to hear about the low sperm count that your husband has just found out about. With IVF these days, the problem is bypassed and so please don't worry too much about this.
