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

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.

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 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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
