is there anything I need to know before my pre op visit(lap band)
I totally know how you feel. A week or so before my pre-op both of my kids got coxsackie virus. I was freaking out. I washed sheets everyday etc. I was so afraid it would turn up on some test that I was exposed. But do not worry I'm sure it will work out. Sarah
PS Just give yourself lots of time for preop testing. I was there for 4 hours.
What ever the desicion is hang in there don't stress I srtongly believe that most of times things happen for a reason.
I had the same feeling and I was right, I almost did not had the surgery some labs came back bad and they had to re -take a couple of lab test all this happen the same week of the surgery I was supposed to have surgery on thursday and Monday they called me to re-test they told me that my cortison level was low and some other hormones levels were not righ not only I came out of pocket to paid $165 for this specill test, I knew that it would take a while to get the results so I had the lab tech called and my doctor rush my results, I was crying and so depressed just to think that I was this closed to loose my date for the surgery at the end everything was ok. I finished all my test and everything came back ok and I had my surgery. SO be strong and remembet everything happens for a reason.
