First and foremost I want to say thanks to anyone who replies, I appreciate your time and effort to answer my question. To start, i've had strabismus pretty well all of my life and just turned 18 and now getting it corrected. I have a appointment next month for it, well its the first visit so a consultation.

Being cross eyed has gotten me really depressed in the past. I broke away from all of my friends and only stayed in a highschool for 6 months before going homeschool because of the shame. Never hung out with any friends or nothing since I went homeschool. Only people I see is family, and thats not alot. I'm now looking to enhance my quality of life and start living again.

I have a few questions of how this is going to go down and im hoping someone can help me out here and answer.

My questions-

1) What happens pre-op and post-op?

2) I was told by a friend I would probably need a physical in order to proceed with the surgery, but I got a yearly physical 2 months ago(It'll be exactly 3 months old whenever I go for the consultation) and curious if I need another because I plan to take my medicial records as proof. Hopefully my yearly physical is good and I can save time on another.

3) If I do infact need another physical, whats the difference in the two? In other words, what all happens during the physical they give? and how does it differ from the one ive had if it does?

My current medicial records show im in good health, only problem is that im overweight by a bit, but nothing drastic. 20-30lbs. Once more i'd like to thank all who replies, because this would definately help me sleep at night knowing the answers to those questions.
