Being sent for Clearance from Cardiologist and Pulmonary??

was scheduled for my hysterectomy back in October. When they called the insurance, they said, make sure she has a DNC first. So instead of having my surgery on Oct 23rd, I had my DNC. Went to schedule my surgery for Nov and found out my husband's insurance was not "active" - will have to wait till it kicks back in. I moved and went to a dr that told me yes, you definitely need your surgery, but told me he does not do surgery with repairs that I needed, so he sent me to a Gyn/Oncologist - I just saw her this past Tues, she sat down did the consultation with me. She said TVH with mini-arc for cystocele. I told her when she did my surgery, we would have to tell the anethesiologist that I will have to have a tube put down my throat, as I have had to do with other surgeries. Then she asked if I had been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. I said no, but told I should get checked for it, but never did. Anyway, when I was going to have the surgery in Oct, they had me to go to my Cardiologist to get clearance - he did and everything was good to go. This doctor is having me go once more to my Cardiologist next week to get clearance and had me to go today to a Pulmonary Doctor to get clearance. They did 4 breathing tests on me and 2 chest x-rays. I wonder why I have to get clearance from the Pulmonary Dr - didnt do it back in October - just confused - just put the tube down my throat like all my other surgeries! I guess I am just getting confused about it all and nervous! I know she got right on getting this appts, she said as soon as I get clearance, they will call me with my date for my surgery!

i guess better to be safe than sorry? please look on the pelvic floor board about the possibilities of complications with the mini arc

Every doctor has their won comfort level and orders pre testing based on that. Good luck.
