jessicavtec1 14 Posted July 17, 2014 So after 6 months going to appointments every four weeks to see what I ate during the day that my insurance required and going to a physic consult,endoscopy and nutritionist also blood work. I finally got approval for surgery. Now I have a Appointment on July 22, 2024 for pre-op. My question is what to expect for that day????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jersrose43 837 Posted July 17, 2014 Pre op for me was a blood test, EKG, and since my pcp did my preop I also got a B12 shot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stacielynntate 88 Posted July 17, 2014 My pre-op was just to make sure I,had done all the required blood work (dr requires cross and type etc but only 14 days before surgery). And any last minute questions I may have had for my dr. Then his assistant gave me a sheet of what to do the night before and morning. Of surgery, like showering, shaving and eating etc. every dr is going to be different but mostly just last minute things that need to,be done closest to,your surgery day. Good luck to you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
30sunshine 5 Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) My preop included getting a upper GI barium study ( just swallowed some thick koolaid tasting Fluid, while being x-rayed) I also had a renal/gallbladder ultra sound, cbc with type and cross, EKG, chest x-ray, surgeon visit, and I preadmitted to the hospital, and spoke with the preop nurse. Whew...its alot right, it took about 8 hours at the hospital. Edited July 17, 2014 by 30sunshine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Photo925 100 Posted July 17, 2014 It's different for everyone...my preop was just to have the surgeon clear you for surgery. I have a secondary preop the day before just to go over paperwork. I won't even see a doctor that day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
