Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / October 2005Eye surgery
Hi all, please think of me on Wednesday morning, I am having my laser eye surgery at 9.50 am BST, I am absolutely terrified, and I know there is nothing much to worry about, but hey thats the way I am. I will let everyone know how I get on, via my beloved Sam after the event. I don't think I will be up to the comp for a few days. Janet aka Snake Lady Hi Janet, I will think about you. All will be well, I am sure. It will be great if Sam can let us know how it goes. Take care. BJ-Sk.

I have often thought about having the surgery but wondered if the medication would be an issue. I know that I tried to have plastic surgery and was turned down because of my steroids. > Hi all, please think of me on Wednesday morning, I am having my laser eye > surgery at 9.50 am BST, I am absolutely terrified, and I know there is [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Janet aka Snake Lady > Just curious....are you on steroid medication?

I healed very quickly, but i guess it depends on the procedure. I wanted to have an elective tummy tuck..... no luck with that......was your plastic surgery that evasive? or medically necessary????? >I had plastic surgery while on 20 mg of prednisone and a bunch of > imuran. I healed very quickly, but i guess it depends on the procedure. Not evasive or "medically" necessary, and i was awake the whole time, but i have a high threshhold for medical procedures after spending so much time in the hospital and doctors office. A tummy tuck, from what i've seen on TV, is quite involved, and there's a big incision (is that the correct spelling?). I wonder why your doctor turned you down since they will prescribe steroids anyways to help you heal. When my mom had liposuction and a forehead lift, they gave her steroids. Maybe you should find another surgeon. They turned me downed because it is "elective" surgery...and I am considered "high" risk....etc. go figure.... > Not evasive or "medically" necessary, and i was awake the whole time, > but i have a high threshhold for medical procedures after spending so [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > liposuction and a forehead lift, they gave her steroids.

They have western-trained physicians, special hospitals that take good care of patients, and when you're done, you can stay for a few extra weeks and hang-out on the beach. hmmmm....maybe I need some more surgery. Hi all, I had my eye done, it was very painful, they could only do half the first time, I have to go back on 10 November for another session. Sorry for the lateness of this report we have been very busy. I think Lehill has got the wrong idea about this surgery, it was not a cosmetic thing it was to stop me losing my sight due to new blood vessell growth behind my eye.
