Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Hi all, I just had pre-op yesterday for my myomectomy on June 1st. I just have a few questions/concerns. The NP did the bloodwork, EKG and I had my chest X-ray done, but she told me that she didn't need a urinalysis. Has anyone else experienced this? My paperwork from my RE's office said I needed my urine taken and I asked the NP twice but she declined. All she asked me is if I was pregnant. (Obviously not otherwise I wouldn't be able to have this surgery) She noted on the paperwork as I did also that I have keloid skin and have undergone plastic surgery for it in the past. How can I be sure that all this information is reviewed prior to the procedure? If my iron count isn't high enough, how soon does the hospital inform u of this? There was no mention of hospital room preferences etc... when does that occur? during same day admissions prior to the surgery? The NP had me stop taking all my meds except for my inhalers,and iron. I did notify her I will be on predisone prior to the procedure per my pulmonary/family practice dr. Is it okay for me to be on predisone and cortisone at the same time? any feedback will be great! Thanks, Shaunah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
