Is this normal procedure?

by lisxxx9 7th November 2009, 7:46 pm

Hi

I had my pre-op on thursday and it seemed to go well. Nurse wanted to do blood tests for blood count and thyroid as I have had previous problems, she also said I was to see doctor if my cough got worse as they wouldn't do op if it goes into my chest. But tonight I got call from nurse at hospital asking me same questions, height, weight, allergies ect. Is this normal? Was she checking to see if cough was worse or am I being stupidly paranoid? Screwy

thanks

Does seem a bit wierd ringing up and asking the same q's but I wouldnt worry its probably an oversight rather than anything sneaky. Do you have asthma or an underlying breathing prob they would have concern about?

I do have asthma, but totally under control. I think this week is going to be the longest week of my life!!!! WHEN it gets done, I know I am so going to regret all this worrying and just wished I'd enjoyed the build up. But knowing this still won't stop me worrying. Is this normal procedure? Icon_smile

aww hope all goes well, its horrible waiting around and not knowing, maybe you could ring them and find out if your pre op test results were back and if they came back as satisfactory?? x

Hi,

will do that going to give them a call on tuesday to see if everything was ok. I keep thinking something is going to go wrong, so until I wake up with new boobs, I don't think I quite believe it's happening.

It all seems fairly normal procedure to me hun,

I didn't have time for a pre op as I got my appointment on the Friday and I was due in for surgery on Tuesday, but I'd recently had thyroid, blood, heart function. kidney function and all kinds of other tests so they just referred to those for my op.

I'm sure you'll be cleared for take off :thumbs:

I agree, give them a call this week to find out the results...

I do believe you are next Lisa - 5 days to go! So excited for you hun xxx

HI Lis

All normal (I also had mrsa swabs etc.,) but the phone call seems bit odd, I wonder if she lost or misplaced your form somewhere and needed to fill out another, did you sign anything??

I had to sign my pre-op form...

by lisxxx9 8th November 2009, 7:15 pm

I did sign something for my doctor, and maybe signed something else can't remember now. Was told not to phone for blood results they would phone if there was a problem, but I'm going to phone them anyway and mention the phone call on Saturday.

I didn't have bloods done by transform- had MRSA swabs but only because i work at a hospital so I am in the "at risk" group.

The phone call sounds like they have misplaced a form or something- those are the kind of questions I had to answer at my pre-op.

Not long now! xx

Hi Lis
It is your body, blood, op. and emotions....also you are paying and employing them, you need to be in control, informed and up to date with all investigations and tests concerning you. I would call and ensure your your mind is at rest. Also, I think they are just ensuring you have the best care needed by double checking between departments...that says good care to me.

Hope you are still excited and looking forward to your special day...it is fab Is this normal procedure? 113752

and do you find crumbs land on your chest instead of your lap!! When I was pregnant that happened all the time, I must be a very messy eater tho!!!

by lisxxx9 9th November 2009, 11:42 am

Wooohoooo!!!! Just phoned transform, blood tests ok, telephone call from hospital on saturday going over same pre-op questions is normal. Seemingly because hospital not employed by transform they double check details over the phone too. Can't believe I'm excited about it OH is sick of me "singing badly" round the house yahoo

I need to calm down a wee bit tho or it'll be a long week.
