cushy 117 Posted November 22, 2013 I finished all of my pre op requirements by 11/05/13, my primary care Dr. decided to add another test that was not required by my insurance or surgeon, I ended up having to do a stress test on 11/19/13 and was advised yesterday that I will need to have a catheter placed in order to have the surgery, this isn't done until 12/12/13 and I will need to be on blood thinners for a month after that which will make it an additional 6 weeks before I can even work towards a surgery date. I know that my primary care Dr. is doing the right thing but I can't help but to feel down and a little discouraged by the delay, I was expecting to have my surgery by mid December but instead I will be getting a stent placed, what a delay.
