Chest X-Ray?

Goober · 07-03-2008, 09:36 PM

I am to be banded next week at TLBC. I had my pre-op blood and EKG done, but they didn't order a chest x-ray. Should I call them or do they not do them anymore?

Thanks

Hi Goober -- I was done at TLBC on June 6th and there was no requirement for a chest x-ray, just the pre-op blood and EKG.

Best of Luck next week and welcome to Bandland.

Cheers!

I just posted a thread in the post-op section about what's involved in the blood work/EKG - any advice on what to expect? I'm not sure when to book my travel arrangements and if the tests could postpone my surgery date next month.
