  1. Ok, if I tell the anesthesiologist, is there a law that he has to tell my surgeon?
  2. I know, I don't see how one has to do with the other. I'm wondering if the anesthesiologist may need to change my medication; like nausea meds or is the intubating process different? I don't see that changing. Also, she is requiring a chest X-ray. Will my plication show on that? These are just things that I was thinking about. I'm dreading telling her. When we have lunch and other meals, she and the rest of the staff make comments like, "You eat like a bird". I wish I would've just told her in the beginning. Ugh. If you get a chance, please mention this to an anesthesiologist or doctor and see what they say if possible or you remember. I would so appreciate the feedback. I ready to just live with the broken implant rather than tell her. I can't even picture the conversation.
  3. I had the feeling that would be the answer. I guess I was just looking for someone to say, "Breast surgery has nothing to do with gastric plication". I'm thinking my anesthesiologist is the one that needs to know. However, I guess I just need to tell her. Ugh! Thanks for replying
  4. I had Gastric Plication and now I work for a Surgeon and don't want to tell her about my plication surgery. However, I am having one of my breast implants fixed by her. Does she really need to know about my past surgery? I would rather she didn't know, it's embarrassing.
