I had my bloodwork done 2 weeks ago should I have gotten a call from my surgeon/Dr regarding results?

Or do they just let it go so long as there is nothing seriously wrong that I'll have to get more testing for?

I usually think No News is Good News. I normally do not worry unless they call.

Yeah That's what I figured, I'm just worried because I see everyone else having to jump through more hoops them me (Cardiologist,Sleep Test..) and I worry that my process has gone too fast and maybe I won't be approved because I finished everything too quickly?..LOL which is silly I know, But still.

The only time I got calls after my tests is when there was a problem and I needed re-tested.

Generally they only call if something is bad!

My surgeon's office put my test results online. And I would get a little email telling me my test results were in and would log in to see that my results were normal or that my blood type was B+ and that I was not pregnant (LOL Duh!).

My regular PCP called to tell me I was diabetic a few years back (which made me feel instantly sorry for myself and drove me to eat ice cream). She also called me earlier this year because I got my HgA1C down from 9.1% to 6.1% in three months which she told me was unheard of. I just did what I needed to do in order to have my surgery since my surgeon's cut off for HgA1C is 8% Any higher than that and you have to go through remedial classes before they operate!

I'm with Kaiser so once they get the results back in get an email. Only time my at ever called is if something was off.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
