What to expect?

I have my preop appt tomorrow. They said I should plan on being there from 8:30-1:30. Any thoughts on what to expect?

I had my pre-op appt. on the 17th. We went over every little detail about the surgery, my pre-op diet, post-op diet, what to bring, exercise, time off work, expectations, and took a pre-surgery pic.

Then I went on to get my blood work done, chest x-ray, and ekg. Over all not too bad, just seemed like they repeated alot of things that we had already talked about, but I know they have to make sure they get it through our heads...lol!! Good luck tomorrow, your almost there!!

I had my pre-op appointment following my 3 hour nutrition class in the morning. I couldn't eat or drink all day because of a couple of tests they had to take, so I don't remember everything...just being extremely hungry and thirsty.

From what I can remember, they took a few viles of blood, I met with a hospital nurse and she did an ekg and talked about weight loss surgery in general (she was certified in something related to bariatric surgery and had actually had it herself 8 years prior), I had my barium drink and they took pictures of my insides, I registered with the hospital for my stay, and I think that was all (except since I was self pay I also met with the finance lady to go over some things). It was a pretty smooth process and they kept just passing me off from person to person although there was sometimes a slight delay between things.

I wish you a smooth easy day!
