Pre-Op Jitters..:/

[cutiepieme 41]

Good morning! I have my preop this am and I could hardly sleep last night. Surg scheduled for july 11 and I guess I feel time is rolling. Wish me luck today! I think I'm a little worried they will tell me my Iron is low. I have been taking my pills but I hope everything will be fine.

What do they do in preop??

[lynn 49]

Take blood , start iv and answer any last minute questions

[cutiepieme 41]

Goodie it's over. Well all they did was ask every medical question they could then took a lot of blood, then chest X-ray, EKG. That is all. Only took an hr n half. My surg is July 11. Now butterflies begin...

[cutiepieme 41]

Urine! I think or blood. Girl I almost passé out from all the blood they took

[Yolyann 56]

Oh man. do you smoke?

[cutiepieme 41]

Naaa not me. Used to help my hubby smoke a cigar every now and then but he quit last yr

[Yolyann 56]

I smoke 1 cigarette a night. I wonder if that will be a problem :/

[cutiepieme 41]
