    Default Just wondering

    During all of your pre-op tests (ekg, chest xray, psych) did any of you have any abnormalties? Just curious what they do if they find any. I'm guessing most of my testing will be scheduled next week. Did my first blood work last week and that was all good. My dr said they will check it a few times before my surgery to ensure everything is staying as it should.

    I had no problems with my blood work, echocardiogram, upper GI, mammogram, exrays, or psych exam; but I believe am older woman in my nutrition group who was scheduled for surgery around the time of mine had something come up in her echocardiogram. I don't know what happened with her because I never saw her again. :/

    My AST/ALT liver levels suddenly shot up majorly during my last blood workup and my surgeon required I be tested again the day before surgery. My levels were still super high so decided the best option would be to do a liver biopsy while I was getting sleeved. The biopsy results were normal.

    My vit D was very low and they put me on supplements.. EKG had an abnormality but Primary care Dr compared it to older ones and said its consistent so I got the green light for surgery, just waiting for the scheduling... excited!

    Nope, no abnormalities. I'm boringly normal -- not diabetic, no cardiac disease, no hypertension, no sleep apnea, no abdominal hernias, etc.

    However, my pre-op co-morbidities pre-op were arthritis, incontinence, lower back pain. And FTR, I was also extremely irritable, had agoraphobia, and horrific insomnia.

    All those comorbs and PITAs went away post-op.

    I just had high liver enzymes but they have since gone to normal with the weight loss. My doctors biggest concern was my hypertension. He worried that if I did not keep it in check the anesthesiologist would not allow me to be sedated. Luckily I was good on surgery day!

    My upper endoscopy showed some abnormalities which required a barium swallow and scan with contrast.
