Pre-Op with PCP
Had a pre-op appointment with my Primary Care today. The visit was basically just an EKG, check-up, file review, and an order for the neccessary labs. In the next two weeks I'll need to get more bloodwork done as well as a chest x-ray. Then she'll send the surgeon a medical clearance document and I'm one step closer to the lap-band®!
The only incident of note was finding that I have high blood pressure. My primary care is great though, she is ALREADY planning how we'll make the prescription work after the surgery (for however long I'll need it).
Things are going well. Surgery is 50 days from tomorrow. I'm excited but really nervous. I'm starting to get burnt out on the uncomfortable/embarrassing tests too. I'm trying to stay positive and know it will all be worth it in the end.
Although Im hearing the x-ray is another one I'll have to go topless for. Yippee.
