Do you have to take your clothes off at the first surgical consult?

I have mine on monday and I require 24 hours notice (and valium) if I have to take my clothes off.

When you first met your surgeon did you have to?

I didn't have to for my surgeon, but he did lift up my shirt to see my stomach, so that he could see if I had any scars and so that he could point out to me where to expect my new scars.

Same here.

Well since i'm a guy if they try to perform a vaginal exam on me I'm switching doctors!!

Too funny. :rolleyes:

I had to get completely naked but not for an exam. I had a full body scan. They left me in the room alone I took off all my clothes and jewelry then I pushed a button to let the nurse know I was ready, I stepped into the booth and closed the curtain then she came in the room to perform the scan.

I only had to lift my shirt up for him to look at my tummy for about 10-15 seconds if that. Otherwise it was just talking about everything.
