Mayo Clinic Phoenix - First Visit Evaluation & Stay

@tallchick60 welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. The first time I went to Mayo it was for pre-transplant evaluation for simultaneous pancreas kidney transplant. I was able to get an itinerary /schedule of planned appointments. My visit was full of appointments spread over about a week. I also received instructions regarading labs, eating /drinking, fasting, taking medications plus scans, X rays and how to dress. Besides this there was information regarding lodging, transportation & parking, restaurants and tourist destinations. Mayo is the comprehensive place to go for health care. I have family living in Phoenix and I hear the weather is great there now. When will you be going?

I am going the 15th. When I made, she didn’t tell me how long I should be. The doctors hear and passing it off as it’s way of life having kidney stones and kidney stone renal surgery every 1-2 years. I have had 3 surgeries for that and have passed 12 stones. All on my right kidney. I feel good when I have a stint in (minus the stint pain). Then they take it out and I’m always in pain on my right side. One doctor here told me it’s in my head. So my primary doctor is fed up and sent everything to Mayo in July. Mayo was taking their time on it then I had another CT scan Thursday, Mayo got the report then now I have an appointment. But they haven’t said the length, or anything. Just the eval appointment. I just don’t know if I should fly back on Thursday or stay through Friday or Saturday to be safe.
