Bill wanted to lose weight and work out, get in shape etc, and we scheduled his surgery for 6 months out.
30 days prior to surgery he had to have an EKG, and his PCC had to sign off that he had no medical conditions which would exclude him from surgery.
He never has had any medical problems. His only meds were for his Bladder symptoms. Things were very uncomplicated to check off the list and be ready for surgery.
His office kept in touch with Adv Uro and our PCC to get everything in in a timely manor.
