Thanks!!
So, my doctor mentioned he’s going to work on the cartilage too—basically trimming down the tip of my nose. He told me he can only take out a tiny amount of cartilage, so now I’m wondering... will it actually even be noticeable that the tip was reduced?
And is that really the limit? Like, am I only allowed to have such a tiny bit of cartilage removed? Because honestly, I’m dreaming of a much smaller nose, and if we're talking about such a small amount, I feel like I won't see any difference at all 😢

So they want my weight, Rh factor, and APTV? Honestly, I don't have a clue what any of that even means, but apparently, I need to head over to medical biochemistry to get it sorted out.

So, I’ve got surgery scheduled in just under a month, and I haven't even started on the pre-op tests I need to get done yet. Like, seriously? So, does anyone know how long it actually takes to get all those tests finished? Is there going to be a massive wait just to get them scheduled, and do you think I can realistically squeeze everything in within a month?
Like it says, the results can't be more than a month old, and now I'm starting to freak out a little because I really should have gotten these ordered sooner...

Quick question for the group—if anyone can help me out here. I’ve been scrolling through this entire thread, but I still can't find a straight answer: does anyone know roughly how long the waitlist is for surgery at St. Jude?
