Uh-Oh. I had my pre-op testing on Friday morning, and went to the surgeon's office for my Case Management appt yesterday. It seems there is some sort of "shadow" on the chest x-ray, so they want a Pulmonary CT scan to see if anything of concern. The nurse said it may just be a rib shadow, but just in case...

Anyone had one of these? I don't feel like I have heart problems, but I guess one never knows.

Pen:

I haven't got any experience with this, I just wanted to say that I hope everything goes well for you.

Take care.

I hope it turns out to be nothing, but definitely better safe than sorry. Good luck and let us know as soon as you do!

I'm getting ready to have plastic surgery for my saggy skin and my pre-op chest xray showed a "patchy infiltrate" on the left lung so I had to have a CT Scan. It only took about 10 minutes, was completely painless, and the "patch" turned out to be nothing of any significance. I hope you have the same good results. Good luck with your lap band too!

I hope everything goes ok...please keep us posted!!!!

I had a CT urogram a few months back and it was a piece of cake.

Let us know how it goes. Good luck!

Whew! I had the CT scan on Friday morning, and it showed nothing out of the ordinary. They didn't even have to use contrast to get a clear picture, so no IV.

Thanks for the thoughts!

That's great to hear! :biggrin:
