Plastic Surgery?

I can't remember if you have a date already or if you've already had your pre-op appointment. For any surgery, they typically require an EKG within 90 days & the blood work (CBC & CMP) within 30. Maybe you'll get those orders at your pre-op visit??

My surgery is scheduled for September 8th. It doesn't even sound like there is a pre-op appointment. It sounded like I will get some calls from the hospital. One to go over medical history and another to schedule the time of the surgery.

Since your surgery is at a hospital (not a surgical center), they'll likely have you arrive a bit earlier for the pre-op testing. If you're worried, definitely call your surgeon's office to confirm!! I'm sure they won't mind… and better safe than sorry.

They did mention about showing up an hour before surgery but I thought that would be the check in process. I'll wait a week and maybe contact them just to verify.

I received in the mail today an order form from the surgeon for a blood test. That makes me feel better.

So it is coming together! In my paperwork I had to be cleared by my primary - mammogram EKG Blood work No anesthesiologist will touch you without n EKG so it may come that route. Best!

Had the surgery. Everything seems to have went well. No pain. Didn't even need to use my pain medicine. One of my drains literally fell out so I only have three. Had some bad itching. Doctor took some plastic strips off that was irritating my skin. That's better now. Don't really have after pics yet.

I feel pretty much normal. It does feel tight. I cannot really bend over. Hoping it gets more flexible as swelling reduces. Stomach is pretty swollen. Looks like I have a little beer belly.

Looking like Monday is the earliest to remove these drains. I think I'm at a disadvantage since one fell out a day after so I only have three.

Drains still don't seem to be close to being removed. During the day there isn't much Fluid but at night I get a lot. I think I'm at a disadvantage since one fell out only a day after surgery so I've been going with only three.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
