Oh yeah, I remember that form. I was telling my friend about it - she had some babies and had to sign similar documents. It's like they have to cover EVERYTHING and scare the crap out of you. I don't even remember any of the things on there.
Just so you know, I've had zero complications. No infections, no strictures, no vitamin deficiencies. When I came out of surgry, Dr. J told my fiancee that everything went perfectly, but revealed to me later that my liver was fatty. Like room temperature butter, he said. It did crack a little, but he glued it back together.
I know that I was lucky (from reading on here - there are many dangers, including fatty livers and cracked livers). But they are both excellent surgeons. I worried a lot and then about two weeks before I just calmed down. Then my fiancee started freaking out.
Interesting that you quit your job...but anything that makes you too anxious isn't good. When do you think you'll go back to work again? If you can afford to, I would take my time. It's cool. Chillax...
