Pre-Op Results... Surgery Tomorrow! Empty Pre-Op Results... Surgery Tomorrow!

Post by lovelydark Tue Feb 17, 2015 1:48 am

Hi friends,

Well, the day is nearly here. I'll be checking into the hospital at 7:30am tomorrow for my surgery. These are my pre-op lab results -- hoping that it's just the one parathyroid that's causing all the problems!

Calcium: 11.4mg/dL (2.85 mmol/L)
PTH: 102 pg/dL (10.81 pmol/L)
Vitamin D: 24 ng/mL (not sure how to convert to SI units...)

They also tested my TSH: 1.7 iui/mL

Wish me luck! I'll be out of pocket since they want to keep me overnight and make sure I'm not bleeding, so I won't be able to post updates until Wednesday. 

Much love and hope to see you all on the side of recovery!
-Lovelydark

Good luck, far better to stay overnight so they can keep an eye on your calcium level post op. Mine dropped down to Hypo levels so I needed calcium tablets.

Hope all goes well, we will look forward to hearing how it went.

Many many good wishes for a successful surgery tomorrow, lovelydark.
So glad to hear that it is all happening for you now!

Keep an eye on your calcium level post-op in case they drop. I expect they will give you calcium tablets to take home with you (symptoms are tingling, especially around the mouth, apparently - but Nelly knows more about this than me.

Keep us posted when you can.

Love from Tigerlily xxxx
