Quote from: MsGiselle on April 23, 2010, 02:05:53 PMI'm on the 8th.
Quote from: Kristyn on April 23, 2010, 02:12:43 PMWow! That's a Thursday. Looks like that's going to be a busy week for them. The first weekend in July is a long holiday weekend in Canada meaning Monday most everything is closed. Then the week of the 19th, they close down for six weeks. I'm wondering if there are surgeries all that week. If so, he'll be bringing in close to a hundred grand for that week alone. Not bad for a weeks work!
Quote from: MsGiselle on April 23, 2010, 01:52:54 PMYou might get a early appointment someone could cancel. When I called in early Jan they gave me Sept. Then I got a call back sayin I could be seen in July One of his last patients before vacation.
Quote from: jessica216 on April 23, 2010, 03:00:32 PMWish i could go tomorrow! but just not feasible. My brother is going to come with me. Due to his work he said end of Oct early Nov would work for him. Plus due to time off for recovery and all that just gives me more time to save some coins. Oh and my 41st B-day is Oct 21st. I asked but Susan said wasn't available.
Quote from: MsGiselle on April 23, 2010, 03:03:10 PMOh i see. We'll your appoint will be here before you know it. Before ya know it it's sept and all the Brassard girls will be posting about their surgeries and you'll be comin up in a few weeks good luck and congrs..

Quote from: MsGiselle on April 23, 2010, 03:13:53 PMI'm goin to him IN July. I'm from Boston. There's a lot of girls goin in Sept weeks after each other I believe their from Canada.
Quote from: jessica216 on April 23, 2010, 03:50:13 PMWell definitely keep us posted on how it all goes. I was wondering, I saw a video on YouTube where a woman who went to Brassard said the they just did a spinal on her not general anesthesia. On the info they sent me they said its up to the anesthesiologist. Wondering what most girls get? Im hoping they knock me the hell out!! LOL
Quote from: MsGiselle on April 23, 2010, 03:53:37 PMOn my paper It says you can request either one. I'm with you on bein knocked out haha. My girlfriend who had her SRS last year was awake for hers and the doctor was like 'Cut here' uh uh I'd be like cut where? haha
Quote from: Kristyn on April 23, 2010, 04:14:00 PMThat's pretty freaky. Who did her surgery? That's probably why they ask if you remembered anything about the surgery. Here's a link which details the likelihood of waking up during surgeryhttp://www.news-medical.net/news/2008/02/17/35286.aspxI'm leaning toward the epidural, but I have to be assured that there is absolutely no chance of becoming aware. Of everyone I talked with who have had epidural, not one was in and out during the surgery. It's a scary thought, though.

Quote from: Kristyn on April 23, 2010, 04:42:48 PMSince I posted that link I've been reading more about this and the likelihood of this happening now, here in North America. The majority of the cases in North America were reported in the early 2000's and are less likely to occur now. Most operating theaters today are equipped with technology which alerts the anesthesiologist when a person awakens. There are also monitors which show in numbers how deeply a patient is sedated. The most recent case I read about was in Australia in 2008 which, when you think about it, comes as no surprise as the Northern Australian territories--where this happened--are pretty primitive compared to North American standards (don't mean to dis anyone from Australia). In this case, the woman could not open her eyes or speak but did manage to alert the staff by moving her hand, yet they continued to operate on her regardless--she felt everything. I'm pretty sure that Brassard has all the latest tech and employs a top anesthetist.
Quote from: MsGiselle on April 23, 2010, 04:45:39 PMUgh she felt everything? That's freaky Post Merge: April 23, 2010, 04:48:07 PMYou know what I always wondered? the stuff they give you to knock you out is that the same stuff that killed Michael Jackson? I'm just wondering
Quote from: Kristyn on April 23, 2010, 04:54:52 PMIt can kill you, if administered wrong. Firstly, any doctor who would go against his/her ethics by administering someone with this stuff just so they could sleep better has got to have a few nuts loose! There is a reason why anesthesiologists have to study so long and make six figure incomes, there's definitely more to it than one thinks!
Quote from: jessica216 on April 23, 2010, 04:44:02 PMHere's that video i saw where she was talking about having and epidural.http://www.youtube.com/user/LadyInWaiting714#p/a/u/1/FR56oZ-lnS0
Quote from: jessica216 on April 23, 2010, 04:59:20 PMFYI girls i just went under general anesthesia on Feb 19th and clearly everything turned out ok so I'm not worried about it. however i seriously NEED to quit smoking!!
QuoteOh and when do i get to ad a pick and start decorating?
Quote from: jessica216 on April 23, 2010, 05:30:54 PMYeah the smoking thing is a bitch!! plus the funny thing is Ive been full time for 16 years and i just now decide that i want to work on my voice as well before the final surgery. Its not that bad but could be better. Smoking and voice training, Kinda counter productive. i figure if I'm getting a pussy i sure as hell wanna sound like i got one LOL
