Pre Surgery Testing questions
I have been going to the hospital every week for the past few for
pre-surgical testing. With the initial bloodwork, they found I had
hypothyroidism and put me on Synthroid. I have done a sleep study and it
indicated sleep apnea. My pulmonary function tests came out good.
Today I had an Endoscopy done and the doctor came out afterwards and said
that I had a small ulcer and wrote a couple prescriptions. He said we would
have to redo the test in six weeks. I have not had any symptoms of an ulcer,
ever.
I had hoped that as of the last week of the month all my test were going to
be done and a surgery date could be scheduled. Instead I get thrown for this
loop. My cardiology workup is next Tuesday and the week after is the psych
eval.
I anticipated a few bumps in the road. Already though I have had two. Should
I start being worried that this surgery may not happen? I have so much
riding on this. I don’t want my weight to kill me.
Most people have the insurance worries. Mine isn’t an issue. I have worries
about passing the pretesting.
Please let me know if there are others that have been thrown these loops and
how they have progressed?
Thanks
