Pre-Op visit

I had my pre-op appointment yesterday.  I had bloodwork, an EKG, and a chest x-ray.  My surgery date is 2 weeks away.  I'm terrified something will come back negative and I won't get to have my surgery!!

Keep us updated.  I have my pre-op date on 9/16/2008 with surgery scheduled 9/30/2008 with Dr Davis. 

How long was the whole pre-op appointment?  You can PM if you wish.

My appointment was at 1 and I did not get finished until around 5.  There was a lot of waiting.

I felt the same way after all those tests., but luckily I got to meet with the internal medicine doc *****viewed all the results and told me that I was a o.k. for surgery. 
You are in my prayers.  Good luck.

Having my appointment tomorrow for my EKG, and all the other stuff, I'm so nervous too, I'm also doing the Liquid diet too. My surgery is 9/15. Good Luck to all Bobbie

I just got back from my pre-admission tests. They didn't take quite as long as I expected. The nurse anesthetist asked a lot of intake questions, which reassured me since I haven't undergone general anesthesia before.  They also weighed me and I've lost 29 pounds since I started the liquid diet nearly three weeks ago....The 15th can't get here soon enough!

My EKG came back abnormal, so I have to to in for another Test on the 12th, I hope everything will be ok, I might have something wrong with my heart, if so no Lap Band until it's fixed. Bobbie
