PCOS Message Board - View Single Post - Anyone have a pre-op leg u/s?

I have done all the regular stuff on my doc programs checklist, just waiting for the psych lady to turn in my approval through them. Today I got a call from my coordinator telling me that she finally got my chart back from the surgeons (they had it for something like 6 or more weeks) and that they want me to have a leg u/s done before I can have the surgery. I am trying to figure out what they might be looking for on it. I do have Factor V Leiden which is a higher possibility of blood clotting, and I have had problems in the past with a nerve cutting off feeling in my outer thigh when I would lay a certain way. I should have asked the coordinator if she knew the specific reason, but I didn't think to until I hung up and it took long enough to get her to call me back this time, so I know she is so behind from the holidays that it isn't worth leaving another message and possibly waiting as long as it will take to get the test done just to find out LOL.
Has anyone else ever had this ordered? I would love to hear about it.
