Pre-Op Testing ?

[Ellie_Grace 271]

I go for my final pre-op bloodwork testing today. Does anyone know what to expect? Is there anything that they find there that could stop or postpone my surgery? I am still so worried that something will cause this surgery to be canceled or postponed again! Thanks

For my bloodwork, they took 9 vials of blood. The only thing that came back was Vitamin defiencies. I'm taking more Vitamins and getting B12 shots. I wouldn't stress about it too much.

Thanks! I know mine is fast since they close at 6pm and I get there at 530. Joanna this is not the same as your post-op appointment with the doctor. This is just the bloodwork part. I am just being silly and worrying in case something negative comes back that will interfere with the surgery.

I already did the doctor pre-op appt a couple weeks ago. That was painless for me anyway. They did weight, blood pressure etc. Doctor then sat and answered any and all questions I could remember to ask at the time. He was awesome, he kept telling me to ask more questions, but I have done so much research I did not feel the need to ask too many. Besides I forgot to write them down, so you might want to do that so you do get yours answered. I was told the office was available for any questions and just call if I had any. At the pre-op appointment I also had the nurse sit and explain all the complications and I had to sign my life away at that point. But it was a pretty basic appointment.

Good luck at your appointment, I am sure it will be fine.
