I am getting ready for my sugery on November 2nd in Kansas City Missouri. I had to call the hospital for a pre-equal. The nurse was not sure they could do my surgery because my blood sugars have been up. My last A1C (average) was 9.4, which is around 250. That was about 4 weeks ago, so it might be down now and I have to have it retested tomorrow. She said it has to be below 150. Now...I do have a little bit of beef with them because if I had to have my gallbladder removed or something else...they would just do it. I also have to have a EKG now. The doctor didn't order this or say anything about the blood sugars being a problem.

Did your doctor or the hospital tell you this?

Current weight: 252

Height: 5'10"

BMI: 36

It was never mentioned to me about the A1C's had to be within a certain range, however, I had to have an EKG & Stress Echocardiagram as part of the pre surgery testing. Good Luck!

Today I got my blood drawn and had my EKG. The EKG results were good. I'll know tomorrow about the A1C. I'm just crossing my fingers at this point.
