Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 I had to take a one hour pre op class and at the end of that class, I was given a multiple question test. It was very basic things and I got them all right. It was given to my surgeon and he went over it with me. ~ami~ In a message dated 7/23/2003 10:24:46 PM Central Standard Time, vicki_mae89@... writes: > > Hey All, > > I went to see my surgeon today for what I thought was my last apt > before surgery.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 One of those questions confused me, It is true that during surgery one might require a blood transfusion right? But the donor blood is screened for AIDS and Hepatitis I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Ohh that reminds me.. we did take a test and the seminar. It was put into our file at the dr office. I had forgotten about that.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Lori Anne, I just wanted to say good luck to you. You're date is coming up soon and I know that you're very prepared for it; much more so than I was. When I first joined this group, you were the most helpful with information and advice even though you were pre-op and I was blown away by the information you had. I hope that one day I can be as inspiring to someone else the way you have been to many on this message board. I know you don't need me to say this but here's hoping you achieve all your goals and become more beautiful on the outside(than you already are of course) than you are inside. T.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Hi T. Oh thank you for such lovely words and I am so happy that I found this group to learn and share from. It is a collaboration of beautiful, supportive and highly informed people who are experiencing the issues that I as a pre-op only can speculate about. I feel ready to receive surgery and I am prepared for the lifestyle change and all I can do is pray that the surgery goes well with no complications and that I can keep up the vitamin regimen and the water. See when we put our hearts and minds together there is nothing we can't overcome, no fear we can't tackle and no craving that we can't conquer LOL. I LOVE THIS GROUP AND ALL THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE IN IT ) Now girls let's go out there and shock them boys lol ((((((((((((((((TANYA T.)))))))))))))))))))))))

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 They had me donate my own blood prior to surgery to be used in case i needed a transfusion...fortunately I didn't Chrissy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
