Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 Today saw my doctor to go over results of tests I am taking pre-op. Two things were worrisome: 1. Triglycerides. He said there was so much fat in my blood that they could not check my cholesterol. 2. Kidney function is down. He said this could possibly be from dehydration, and is sending me to take the test again next week. Naturally, I will be drinking up a storm. My question: Could either of these things disincline a surgeon from doing the surgery? Do these problems make me not a good candidate? My surgery is presently scheduled for November 29th, with all test results due no later than Nov. 15th. Many thanks for any help anyone can give. Special aside to H - I've only been on this board a couple of weeks, but have been helped so often by your thorough research. Many blessings on your upcoming surgery. I hope you'll submit detailed descriptions of everything as soon as you're up to it, because your clear, calm voice will be so helpful to those of us awash with questions.
