Pre-Op testing the day before surgery?

[flmama 105]

Did anyone have their pre-op tests the day before surgery? I am asking my coordinator if this is possible, so I don't have to make two 9hr roundtrip drives within a couple of weeks of each other if possible. And I think the pre-op tests and final consult will start really early and take up all day, so I would have to stay the night as well, which makes it difficult with two babies and no local family.

It's no biggie if they can't or won't...but I've asked. And was just wondering if anyone else was able to do their pre-ops really close to the surgery.

FWIW, other than being morbidly obese, I'm incredibly healthy. I have asthma and PCOS, but no other comorbidities. My required tests are an EGD, EKG, labwork and chest/abdomen xray.

Welll I would imagine you could do the clearance closer to home.

I'm having pre-op tests Monday morning and if all goes well I'm having surgery in the afternoon (same day)!!
