PCP almost didn't clear me!

I got so upset!!! I had all my pre op stuff done in March. I went today to my PCP to get clearance from him as required by the surgeon. At first, he said he couldn't clear me because all the testing was 4 months old. He said I would have to have at least the xray, ekg and bloodwork again before he could clear me. He kept asking me why I did it all 4 months ago when I wasn't having surgery until now. I had no explination for him other than that's when the surgeon's office scheduled all this stuff. He just kept asking over and over.

But he decided since I didn't have any lung and heart issues and that I was so young, he would go ahead and clear me. I didn't realize 37 was young! HAHA!! So, last hurdle jumped!!!!!!

37 is young! Oh to be 37 again! :-)

Glad he gave you clearance. You will get pre-op testing done a few days before surgery to make sure you are good to go. That should include a ekg and blood work.
