GinaCampbell 434 Posted May 20, 2016 Failed my pre op assessment today. My bloodwork didn't pass. My sleeve is scheduled for the 31st but I won't know until the 27th if the surgeon will go ahead with a high platelet count. So upset. Mostly because my records show that my platelets were high consistently over the past year while on the bariatric pathway. I only found out today how high they have been. I brought this subject up in April and was told "not to worry" and that the team felt the high platelet count wasn't "significant". Then they blindside me today, ten days pre op. No one can "make a decision" due to work schedules so I have to simply wait it out. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted May 20, 2016 @@GinaCampbell I'm sorry you're dealing with this - but it's for the best that they take every precaution. Blood clots are a very serious and can be deadly complication to major surgery - so with high platelets you are at a much greater risk. Someone should have done something about this before now - but hopefully you can get this resolved and scheduled for surgery. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

helenpgh 81 Posted May 20, 2016 GinaCampbell I had this happen to me. I was scheduled for surgery last October and my platelet count was too low and my surgeon cancelled the surgery 3 days before it was scheduled. I had to follow up on some other health issues and was quite depressed for several months. Finally had my surgery last week. Remember that your health and safety are most important. Hang in there.

GinaCampbell 434 Posted May 20, 2016 Thanks all. Yes, I feel very low. And of course all my family that don't want me to have the sleeve are happy and hoping that I will stop fighting for the sleeve surgery.
