Lab results

[sageandcoyesmommy 28]

I'm just wondering if anyone has had their lab results interfere with surgery? I had all of my pre-op labs drawn, ekg, and chest xray on Saturday. I just got a message from my doctor's office saying they needed to talk to me. It's too late to call them back today and I'm assuming they want to talk about my results. So now I'm freaking out that something is wrong and I won't be able to have it done.

when is your surg? maybe u have a UTI, if you have a week or two they can give you antibiotics to clear it up before your surg...good luck, hope all is well...

I was low on all my Vitamins it seemed. B, D and Iron were all low and I had to take extra supplements.< /p>

My surgery hasn't been scheduled yet. I'm just working on the pre-op requirements that have to be done before submitting the request to my insurance company.

I hope It's just a Vitamin deficiency

I had traces of H-pylori when I had my blood work done, and that postponed my surgery for 4 weeks while I was on antibiotics.

I got that call too before surgery and it was to let me know my Vitamin D was so low that I had to take a prescription 50,000 unit once a week for 8 weeks. It did not postpone my surgery but I did start it a few weeks before.

I'm so glad to hear that it didn't interfere too much with yalls surgeries! I'm still playing phone tag with the nurse, but hopefully we'll get in touch soon.

Finally spoke with the nurse and found out my Vitamin D levels are very low. I'll start a supplement and they'll check again in 12 wks, but it won't change when I can have surgery yay!
