We spent 12 hours yesterday in appointments, but now they are all done. The phyc evaluation said that my dear hubby is stable. (little does she know..) and we met with the dietian, and phys. therapist and support group. We go next week to meet the surgeon and get a surgery date. I thought it was really odd that no one did any blood work. We are tired today, but almost there. Yeah!!

Hi there...You will get your bld work done at the Pre-op Testing date. You will also probably do a chest X-ray (if you had one done in the past 6 months bring them the film)

Good Luck

You will most likely get a blood test, chest x-ray and did you mention an EKG. They have to have it all. Can't go into surgery without knowing everything about our bodies. That is a good thing. Good luck to you. My tests are coming up and the pre-surgical clearance from my MD and then to the dietitian again(this will be the fourth time) and then to the surgeon 8 days before for a good look over.

Good luck
