First meeting with surgeon tmrw

[JessicaRed]

Hi everyone, nervously waiting to meet my surgeon tmrw at JR but just had some good news in a cardiology letter with CT scan results, " normal coronary arteries and no other pathology, this is good news " wrote Dr to my gp, my thoughts exactly as I thought theyd find all sorts after previous yrs of yoyoing obesity diabetes cholesterol blood pressure etc etc im quite happily surprised !!Trying to formulate some sensible questions but struggling

That's great news about your CT angiogram results 👍🏾. It really helps to put your mind at rest. Good luck tomorrow and I hope you manage to think of some good questions x

My question to the surgeons was along the lines of “is there anything I can do to make things go smoothly” .

I shudder when patients write lists of questions. Surgeons are in very short supply and I think we should avoid occupying their time unnecessarily.

I also don’t want to know the blow by blow details of the op. I am squeamish.

I guess I am too much old school.

I know all will go well tomorrow. You are entering the zone of excellence in the NHS.

As for the questions just keep jotting down things as they come in your head the more you try to think what you want to ask I think our minds go blank but what I do is just keep jotting things down as I think of them which I will be thinking about you tomorrow

My surgeon rattled off all the info that I needed without being asked. My most important question was time scale.Good luck, I'm sure it will go smoothly x

Hi JessicaRed. I had replacement aortic valve and triple bypass at JR 5 years ago. I was 77 at the time and I was just relieved that they were prepared to operate on me. I had no questions: was just happy to put my trust in the team. I'm sure all will go well for you. Margah
