For my pre-op testing I had to have chest ex-rays, see a psychologist, a nutritionist, and had two endoscopys done and an ekg and blood drawn. I guess every doctor wants something different.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 I just need to vent a bit here... I have 4 days til surgery. It's on 10/14. I had my physical for surgery clearance today and everything was fine...all they did was draw a little blood. I was expecting more from what I had heard about everyone else's pre-op testing. Anyway, I am not that nervous but could sure use some happy thoughts to be sent my way. Good luck to everyone on their journey's!!!!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 amy, just imagine leaving the weight behind. no more tight clothes, shortness of breath, etc. you'll be able to do your own pedicures, & get noticed for all the right reasons:-) lori h. > I just need to vent a bit here...
