What Happens at Pre Op Appts?



Recommended Posts

So I have a bunch of appts next week. I'm just curious as to what happens during my psych,cardiology and pulmonology appts? I've never seen anyone discuss those appts on here. Thanks!

Im sure it varies from program to program but my pulmonolgist sent me for a sleep study and a pulmonary function test (breath in a tube). The cardiologist did an E K G in the office and also sent me for an echo ca rdiogram (heart ultrasound) and stress test (treadmill). The psychological eval included a conversation with the psychologist and 2 tests that I took on a computer. They are looking to see if you are mentally prepared to cope with the changes and don't need any other counselling before hand.
