Hey pcindy, I see we both have the same surgery date. I'm ready and I'm sure you are too.

I've been on my liquid pre-op diet for about 4 days now and feel pretty good. What about you?

I saw you post on a thread I started in which I talk about my surgery possibly being cancelled due my low potassium levels.

A little background: I have high blood pressure and for this condition I take Lisinopril 40 mg/ twice a day. I also take Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg/ once a day. The staff at my surgeon's office believes the Hydrochlorothoazide is what caused my potassium levels to go low.

I see the surgeon again on the 11th. In your professional opinion should I ask for my levels to be checked then and not the day of surgery? I know the answer, but you seem very knowledgeable so I respect you opinion.

Please get back with me as soon as you can.

Thanks in advance

Deb
