I get a phone call from the surgeon office this afternoon telling me the hospital forgot some labs thats required before surgery. I had to ask if this was a joke because I went for pre admission testing last Monday 7/23 and tomorrow I go to my pcp for the all clear your good to go and the results was to be faxed to my pcp by then. I left work after I hung up with the office to try and complete the rest of the labs of course they was closed! Now what do I do? I cant leave work early tomorrow or Friday  I'm going out of town Friday night my pcp on vacation next week and surgery is 8/13 omg

Call the surgeon's office and ask if there is someone there that can draw the blood. Explain your situation; if they can't do it, maybe they can tell you where else you could go.

The hospital where I had my sleeve done has a lab that opens at like 7am or earlier. maybe check with local hospital to see. actually call your surgeon & make them do it cause they will have to send an order of what needed anyway.
