My surgery is on July 10, 2018 .. And i'm getting so nervous because my grandma is making me nervous. It took a year and some change to get approved and get the entire process rolling for this surgery.. I did many of the tests required during spring 2017. My most recent test was a comprehensive metabolic blood panel done this past Tuesday.. They did see an increase in my White blood Cell count and in my platelets. They asked if I had a cold. And I do.. but its very slight just some stuffiness in my nose and sneezing every now and then. The nurse practitioner said it shouldn't be a problem at all especially since I don't have any other symptoms like fever... But i find it weird that they haven't even asked for medical clearance from my PCP. Also.. the only labs they asked for are these blood panels.. they haven't done an EKG or Chest x-ray.. is that common before surgical procedures?
also.. I've never had a surgery and gone under anesthesia. (Only c-section)
I would appreciate any feedback.
Thank you!
