Yes. I had to get all of my blood work done again last week when I did my pre-admissions testing. When I first received my bloodwork orders about 4 months ago, I had them done then. Most of the results are valid for 3 months except the Thyroid which is longer. For me, they wanted to make sure that none of my levels changed dramatically.
I'm scheduled to have mine on April 20, 2018. There are SO many things that I am looking forward to doing. Things such as:
Giving myself a decent pedicure
Crossing my legs
Washing my back by myself (keeping it real)
Sitting in chairs with arms comfortably (chairs like the ones in Dr's offices and other places)
Flying without a seatbelt extender
Being able to ride Public Transportation without people getting up and moving because of my weight
Running for a bus or train without being winded
Taking my house steps one after the other
There are so many more, but these are the ones that are very high on my list!
