lillita 18 Posted June 28, 2010 I just came back from my doctor's office to get weighed and I lost the necessary 10 pounds!! I am so exited!! I also did my pre-registration call -- it is so scary to be asked about a living will, blood transfusions, etc. BUT, I guess it is something that is done with every surgery. I just pray to GOD that I will be ok. I know there are risks to everything but when you make a decision to have elective surgery it is always scary. Wish me luck! :001_unsure: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
