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!!!!!!
