When Did You Do Your Hospital Pre-Op/registration



Recommended Posts

My day is on Oct.29 at 10:00 a.m. I was told to go about a week or so before my day so I went on Oct 17th to reg. and do the pre-op stuff my doctors office had already sent over my info ...they did blood work , EKG , urine, and ask questions about past surgeries and if I had any problems with anesthesia then I was given info on what to do the night before and where to check in and where to park. This is all i had to do. If your day is close call you dr office to confirm on what to do and where to go.. Getting all this done before makes checking in a little smoother. Good luck

Are you talking about pre op testing/ pre admission testing?? if so, i went in did a breathing test to insure i can be put under ok, then i went and had an ekg dont and blood work and answered some questions with the nurses, meet with the PA for my surgeon and answered some of her questions, then I met with my dr who has been my pcp since feb also the dr who clears u for surgery. after that i sat through two classes one was what its going to be like the day i come to the hospital and the stay there, next class was a dietitian class on how ill be eating following surgery. lots of information!!! and they took my $ that I have to pay for surgery which was my out of pocket for insurance.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
