Pre-Op Bloodwork and Testing

Jul 13, 2009

Today, I went to my local outpatient center and had all of my pre-op testing done:

EKG: Had to do it twice because the machine was broken. Someone also burst into the door and made my heart literally jump on the monitor....I mean, come on, do you people knock? I was nude for goodness sake! Waiting for those results.

Abdominal Ultrasound: Checking liver, spleen, kidneys, checking for masses/stones, etc. I got an email from my primary doc before I left the hospital on my phone that came back normal.

ABG: Arterial Blood Gas: Measures the levels of O2, Co2 and other gases in the blood. That also came back normal. 

I also had 9 vials of blood for stuff like cholesterol, A1C, etc and those should be back in a few days.

I sent my sleep study info over yo my doc as well as other info they need before my meeting with the surgeon.

LORD! If anything, I will know EXACTLY what's going on in my body from now until eternity! lol

I am getting excited as I get closer to the surgery and I can't wait for what I'm going to look like and feel like later :)
