      She said 790. Which when I look online comes up as a billing number.

      That was hilarious! Seriously though, I can guarantee this is an error.

    790 or 190?

    Call back, that was the wrong one, or you could only get blood out of you with a spoon

    I'm sure it's a typo from the lab or something, going to the Dr. Thursday. Hopefully get it straightened out then since my surgery is Tuesday next week.

    Met with my PCPs office today. They are redoing to blood work on that test. According to those results my triglycerides were over 5000. She said unless had Crisco in my veins that wasn't possible. All need is this person to write me a letter of medical clearance so I can get my surgery Tuesday. So frustrating!
