Today was my pre-op with Dr. Chaisson so he gave me the prescriptions and I had to sign the consent form. The third paragraph are general sugical risks - Death, heart attack, pneumonia and pulmonary embolus. The next says peri-operative risks are conversion (having to cut me open instead of using the laparscopy), bleeding, bowel injury or splenic injury. Next is post op wound infection, abscess, stomal stricture or need for re-op. The last is long-term risks wound hernia, nutrition related conditions, stomal ulcers, bowel obstruction and failure to lose all weight. HHMMMM I hope I'm doing the right thing!
BUT the one thing I wanted to make sure I told him was that I had a lung collapse 30 years ago - it may be important information.
