Im on the 4th too. They asked me all of those things also. I asked the nurse why she was asking this. I had surgery at this hospital 4 years ago and they didnt ask any questions then. She said they want to know our wishes but they should never need to use this information.

Hi fellow 4th'ers! They asked me those questions too, hopefully they won't need that info on any of us!

The hospital just called to preregister me for my surgery on the 4th. They asked next of kin, if I am an organ donor, and if I have a living will. Now I am terrified!

I think it's probably SOP these days. Admittedly, it does make one somewhat nervous, but we've always known that nothing in life is certain when it comes to surgery, (or most things for that matter), and I'm sure the hospital wants to cover all the bases, no matter how remote the chances may be. If I die in surgery, C'est la vie. Have a nice time with my parts.

I was at my surgeon's yesterday and he's got me scheduled for September 6th. That didn't take long.

Both pumped and nervous' date=' and not sure which one will win. lol

I hope everyone here has a smooth and no issues surgery.[/quote']

Good luck to you!

Minor set back ... Seen surgeon today and he wants me to get a clearance from my neurologist since I have a seizure disorder. But still hoping no later than sept 6

Tc's Ready!

27 days and I will be on my way to Kaiser WLA for surgery!
