Hida Scan

Officially scheduled for Wednesday 9am.  I have to have nothing by mouth for 4 hours before except small sips of water if needed.

Apprantly the test can take up to four hours to complete - it depends on how fast the dye goes to "every" organ.  They will inject me, scan me, and then re scan me until it's all through my body.  I may be asked to leave for an hour or two while they wait for the dye if it is taking a long time.

Hopefully this doesn't interfere with me attending the meeting on Wednesday night and also hopefully answers all my questions.

Very possible! WE rented right over on Old Easton Road - at Bucks County Rug Cleaning. We bought a house in January though, now we are in Easton. Oh and keep a look out - I'm going to be having a support group meeting at my house next month. ANd I host one at Doylestown hospital the 3rd thurs of the month at 6pm if you are ever interested!

Pam - I think that I had one of these done pre-op. I had to go in and they would inject the dye then they took pictures every so often for hours, I was there forever and just left feeling weak and tired. Oh and a migraine from not eating! Other then that it wasn't painful or anything - just an inconvenience.


Good luck with it and keep us posted!
