Pre-Op Results... Surgery Tomorrow!
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!

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.

Re: Pre-Op Results... Surgery Tomorrow!
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.
