Topic: RE: Had my Pre-Op on 2/22. Plastic Surgery 1 Week Away!
Amy,

Yes,  i am staying one night, and lets pray its just one night, with my past history i have had to endure weeks or days at a time. I have not slept all night, i have 5 more hours to go until i have to be at the hospital (Wilmington) so i figured i will just stay up, i can sleep when i am under during surgery and in my room once its over. Your right , no one can understand what we are going thru until they walk in our shoes. If you like, my last name is Miller, and you can call me at wilmington hospital later wednesday and ask me how i made out.

Take Care! Good Luck with yours

I will keep you in my prayers tomorrow. 
Sometimes know one else can understand why we do what we do, but we need to do somethings for ourselves.  I have told several people that I will be having plastics and all I hear is "you look great, you dont need that", but trust me none of them have seen the skin or felt the skin as I am on the treadmill!  I am sure you understand.  

Is the procedure outpatient or are you staying for one night?  I will be staying one night so I assume you will too.  

Get a good nights sleep!

Amy,

Well tomorrow, March 2nd is my big day, like 12 hours away until i have to report, had some pre testing yesterday, i did find out that you have to have blood work and an ekg at least one month current with you upcoming surgery date. So thats a learning lesson, I met with my Pastor of the church i attend in Wilmington and he put me at peace with myself and helped with the fact my immediate family isnt supporting my choice to have the surgery done, infact no one is going with me tomorrow, i am being dropped off by a brother in law. weird situation!

When i am well enough i will post my recovery.

Sincerely,
Kenn M

I have only had my consult and am waiting to summer to have my TT, but I too will have it at Wilmington.  I am pretty sure they do it there since it is a Center of Excellence.  I would prefer Christiana, but it is not a COE.

I too had Dr. Peters with lots of complications and he continues to be wonderful.  I am sorry you did not have a great WLS experience, but it sounds like things are going well now!

Good luck with your plastics.

Topic: RE: knee replacement surgery. . if i had known then. .
i have had issues w my L knee for yrs.  i was to a known ortho knee doc may last yr.  he said nothing is wrong.  use the knee.  i did.  pain. swelling.  plus plus continued. 
recently i complained to my primary.  he suggested a rhuematologist.  i made that appoint but made an appoint for ANOTHER ortho knee doc. 
this doc took one look at the xrays and said there, there, there are issues. 
possible solutions:  continue as is, pain management or replacement. 
to me, at this point, it is a no brainer.  replacement. 
thanks for the feedback.
