I am self pay so I'm wondering if this is possible. I had a physical this past summer and had blood work done and also had an EKG that was totally normal. I'm curious if my surgeon would accept these as some of my pre op recommendations? My surgeon consult is scheduled for December 14! YAY!

I was told bloodwork within 30 days and EKG within 180 days.

The blood work has to be within the week...I think. They used my EKG from my knee scope about 2 months prior to the gastric surgery.

My hospital said it's good for 30 days. I'm sure each hospital/surgeon has their own policies. But mines is thirty.

I was told as long as the EKG and chest x-ray was within 6 months that I was fine.

I think it depends on the facility you are going to. My doctor took a cardiology report that was 1 year old.
