So close I can taste it

I FINALLY got my paperwork showing which tests and bloodwork I need to have done pre-op. I'm surprised that I don't have to have an Endoscopy (EGD) and treadmill test, but have to get an EKG and Echocardiogram, plus some other tests. Hopefully I'll be banded the last week of May or the first week of June... I am so ready.

Hey there,

Not only are our screen names the same starting out, but my journey is about the same as your's. I hope to have mine by the end of the month as well but don't have a date yet. Good luck getting everything completed. I have a checklist from my dr.'s office here on the desk and as I complete each step, check them off. Not many to go.

Just got my list of preoperate tests to be done May 15 and will have the surgery May 23.

Are you staying overnight or leaving same day??

Wow! You are all moving right along. You'll be having surgery before you know it! Good luck!

Thanks for the well wishes. I just got back from having my bloodwork (and feel like a pin cushion), chest x-ray and H.Pylori test. I'm waiting for my PCP to get back with when I will get the echocardiogram and EKG.

SueAZ - I'm supposed to have same day surgery. How about you? Your day will be here before you know it.
