  1. Getting pre-op medical testings and clearance is so stressful and frustrating. I supposedly had all my pre-op testing for excess skin removal on June 9th. Wednesday days before surgery is to happen I am told I need to head back to the PCP and have PT (Prothrombin Time), PTT (Partial Thromboplastin Time), and INR (International Normalized Ratio). asap. Why the heck wasn't this done June 9th. So I rush my butt to the PCP get this done just in time to get  over to the hospital for the pre-surgery appt only to have to go back to the PCP because  the hospital said I have an infection from a blood blister that broke open on my breast. Now I am on a cream and antiboitic 5 days before I am to have surgery.

    Friday 3 pm I was told the PS still didn't have medical clearance. Got the referral lady to email me the 17 pages of clearance, printed it off and hand delivered it to the surgeons office.   I just don't understand why I am having so much trouble getting these breast boulders turned into molehills. If this surgery is canceled again for the second time I am going to be so upset I think I will explode and hack them off myself.

      It is frightening getting your hopes up and then have it be shattered. I am praying that all goes well keep fighting and being your own advocate.
