Worried about pre op testing affecting my surgery



Recommended Posts

I received a call from my doctor my labs came back positive for the h.pylori, underactive thyroid and also now being officially diabetic. I know i will have to clear up the h.pylori with antibiotics but also worried other results could effect my surgery?

Can't speak for the thyroid but I had surgery as a diabetic. Haven't had a metformin since surgery tho!

I go to my dr thursday for my 5th out of 6 month weight review so i have not been able to discuss my results with him. think i may just be getting more paranoid as my 6mo wait is coming to an end!! although i found it odd 2 days after my dr faxed my referral and labs they call to move my psych eval from mid sept. to tomorrow so they can send it into insurance. wonder if my new labs had anything to do with the change?

I've heard your A1C levels can have an effect dependent on what they are. I am not diabetic and do not know this for a fact. Someone else probably has more information.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
