Sooo exciting!! My surgery is August 16th at 7:15 am. I need to be there at 5:15 am, I can't wait

How exciting' date=' good luck to you everything will be for god willing. I still can't believe that I'm just a day away from my surgery. The hospital called me yesterday to confirm the surgery time and as I'm speaking to the nurse I had to pinch myself to believe that this is so real. This change that will come to my life I know it's a lot of work and dedication but I'm ready for it.

Surgery date Monday Feb4, 2013 that will be a date that I will never forget. good luck to you again. And hope to stay in touch, this forum have really helped me a lot and have answer many of my questions. Thanks to all of you guys for sharing your experiences with all of us here. [/quote']

They have to, it's HIPPA, law. You can specifically say they may only speak to you and put a notice on your chart and on their patient board that's usually by nurses station. I have similar stipulations and two people named as my healthcare agents for advance directive purposes, in case of emergency issues ( hubby & mom).

Just state it and repeat it. When you show you you have knowledge and are serious they will take notice ( nurses and docs), whereas sometimes they ignore people.
