First appt at McLean/Gracemed for top surgery - help an AuDHD guy prepare?
I’m still looking at probably a few months still on the waitlist (I’ve been on it about a year now), but I’d like to be prepared for when the time comes.
Because I have auditory processing issues and can freeze up in medical appointments, so the more I know going in, the better (especially in settings where they do it a lot so it’s kind of routine and quick for them).
I’m not worried about what, if any, physical exam stuff is going to happen, just about what they’ll talk about - especially what they’ll ask me.
So, if you had an intake at Gracemed recently, I’d love to hear what it entailed when it comes to any information I’ll need to give and/or decisions I’ll have to make.
In particular:
-Will they want specifics about what I want for my ideal end result, or do they just sort of tell you what’s possible based on your body?
-would it help for me to know about the different types of techniques and options beforehand?
-Will I have to make any decisions regarding surgery stuff at that first appointment?
TIA
