Do they make you give a urine sample? If I haven't had Water for a long time since they don't want you to have any in the morning...will I be able to go?:tired I have never been one to just go on cue:rolleyes like everyone else. Anyone else have this problem?:omg:

No, I've never had that problem. I have had several surgeries and have not been asked for a sample.

nope I didnt have to give an urine sample, they did all the testing couple days before surgery:-)

I had to provide a urine sample immediately upon being admitted to the hospital for the required pregnancy test.

I just had my surgery 15 days ago and only thing required was that I used the restroom (number 1) before leaving the hospital. That's about it.

Nope, one wasn't required of me, etiher.

The nurse asked me for one, cause I hadnt had a period in 6 months and she wanted to make sure I wasn't pregnant. I don't go on cue either, but apparantly the few drops were enough to determine I was not with child.lol

No urine sample needed.

No sample needed the day of surgery. All lab work was done on the final pre-op appointment 4 days before surgery.

I had to do a urine sample the night before surgery, being in MX means everything happens QUICK.

The day I arrived was testing and orientation in the hospital, I had surgery at 6am the next morning. I could drink as much Water as I wanted or needed up until... was it 10? It is usually 10pm, isn't it?

Yes, I had to give a sample. It wasn't much but that's all I could give 'em. I know...how can you "go" if you haven't had anything to drink in 12 hours?!!! If they ask, just give 'em whatever you got!
