Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 Trust your manual. If you have a question, the answer is there. You need your lab work, a chest x-ray, mammogram, Pap smear and EKG. That's it, right people? Everyone advises that you bring copies of the info you sent with your packet to the hospital as well, just to be sure nothing gets misplaced and would need to be re-done. Good luck on your journey to a new life. PhillyJude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2000 Report Share Posted October 25, 2000 geez Jude , I didn't get a new Labs or have my EKG done because they have to be within 30 days and I don't have my surgery date yet. If those aren't in my packet, will that hold things up? Worried Jil 342 BMI 54 Pre-op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2000 Report Share Posted October 25, 2000 You're within 30 days now, so go ahead and get them. But no, you'll be OK. I haven't had my chest x-ray; may wait til I get there. And I think they'll want new labs and EKG and I 'll probably do them there as well. I'm not willing to get rankled any more. I am in a peaceful, happy, tranquil place, and I'm staying right here. They can't get me now!!!! :-) Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Hi Sherry, I'm not Vitalady, but maybe this will help. One of the tests and the very best of them, in my opinion, is the Endoscopy. They go down through your mouth and look at the pouch and the exit out of the pouch. The only other test I can think of is an upper GI, in my opinion, this test didn't do much for me. They used it to check for a stricture and it showed that everything flowed through just wonderful, when in fact the exit out of my pouch was 1mm. (found at the endoscopy the next week) Hope this helps, Joanie Tests > Hi Gang > > I still do not know exactly what two tests that are needed if something may be wrong with the surgery. One of the tests is a Endoscopy (sp?)---but what is the name of the other test that is pretty standard to look at the pouch? ? I know you had to have a revision so maybe you know the names of the tests? Anyone? > > Sherry in Knoxville TN > > BLUZGAL > > REMEMBER---LIFE IS A JOURNEY--NOT A DESTINATION! > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 I've had many scopes, starting years before surgery. If I coulda sold ulcers, I'd be a rich woman today! I certainly could mfr 'em fast enough. I'd take a scope over a swallow type test any day. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.
