What should I expect today?

[Mammecan 43]

I have 2 pre-op appointments today, i with my surgeon, 1 with the bariatric nurse..My surgery is in 2 weeks..I don't think my dr does liquid diets...do you think I'll be getting pre-op blood work? every test I needed has been done already...the nurse phoned me the other day with 15 minutes worth of medical questions..so I am just wondering...

Every program is different, so I don't know. I had to have a bunch of blood work done on my Pre Op day, and a breathing test (even though I already had one done two weeks prior).

You probably will be getting pre-op blood work, or instructions on when to get it. I felt like my last pre-op appointment was all about me signing waivers that said, "I understand that I could die." They'll probably go over the pre-op and post-op instructions again. Honestly I went from approval to surgery within just over a week so I know I had a lot to get accomplished in about 5 business days. And as many have pointed out, every office is slightly different. Good luck!

My last pre op appointment with my surgeon consisted of him asking if I was ready and had any last minute questions and me asking what I still wanted to know. Then they gave me the time to be there for surgery...That was about it. But as stated before, every practice is different.

I went for my hospital pre op today. First I was on the phone with the RN FOREVER, just like you were only it seemed longer than 15 minutes. I was at the hospital for FOUR hours. I had to attend a Class (explaining everything that was going to happen, what they expected of me, etc.) that lasted for an hour and then had blood drawn, peed in a cup, chest x-ray, blood pressure checked and my weight taken. Good luck!!! Aren't you 'over the moon' excited? I can't wait until Monday!!!
