One week to go until my surgery.... I have a question.  Did anyone have to take atenolol (a beta blocker)  pre-op? I had to start with one tablet today and tomorrow and then take 2 pills daily including the day of surgery. Then  I have to take them post-op.  Just curious.

WOO HOO!!! 

Almost there! You're on the home stretch now! 

 

As for the beta blocker, sorry no info on it.  I didn't have to take it.

Tammy, Atenolol is a beta-blocker.  I called the office yesterday and they said since I have a history of hypertension, I needed to take it.  It is to protect my heart.  I am also hoping that my liver is small enough so they can do the surgery....something else for me to worry about!  LOL Thanks for checking in on me!
