What kinds of tests you have to do before the surgury?

I am not too keen on having a doctor shove a camara up my butt for one thing. :peep:

Aside from the basic blood tests/labs what do most doctors require? I am going to be self-pay so I think that will cut a lot of tests out am I right?

Not necessarily. It depends on your medical history.

I was self pay and had nothing but bloodwork. Funny and Tracy went the same time as me and three other girls I work with and they just had the bloodwork. It's different with different doctors but none of them have you do any of the camera up anything tests, LOL. NO seriously, one girlfriend of mine had a doc who did all of the tests and If I'm not mistaken it's bloodwork, chest exray, ekg., stress test and the physc test are about the norm for docs here in the states and I'm sure others will chime in with theirs. It is absolutely nothing to worry over, I promise you.

I'm working my way through the tests and I have a fair number of medical issues. So far: ekg, chest x-ray,stress test, endoscopy, and psych eval this friday.

Self pay here as well and all I had was blood work, but I had no medical issues.
