Yes, my doctor has me taking a pre-op quiz to ensure I know what I'm doing, what this consists of, etc. I can't help but to think some questions can go both ways and I should write in my own answer lol.
For instance:
This operation will commit me to periodic physician follow up for the rest of my life.
True or false
OR there's my answer....
"I'm only 25 years old so let's say I live for another 75 years (probably 40 if I DON'T get approved...hint hint) do you REALLY want me coming in for the "rest of my life"?? You're really gonna make me, a 90 yr old lady, come out in the hell time of winter just to make sure I'm still kickin and taking my Vitamins and eating right?? By that time I'll be on 16 pills a day, not including my bariatric Vitamin (which I will be b*itching about cuz I can't swallow or chew them anymore cuz I choke), and yes I'll be eating fine cuz I'll have no teeth and I'll be living off sugar free Jello, mashed potatoes, and broth! So let's just consider this "for the rest of my life" thing for a moment shall we?"
Hahaha seriously though.
No, I didn't write that......cuz there isn't enough room ???? I filled in the true circle. Hey, if they wanna deal with the 90 year old me, so be it ????????
