What to expect pre-op appt

I finally have my pre-op appt, that should I expect on that day? Will I get surgery day?

This is how mine went: The surgeon reviewed my current state of health and my history, such as any previous surgeries, my highest weight, etc. He was primarily looking at risk factors for surgery. He had me lie down and looked at my upper abs. He reviewed my current meds. He then went over the risks with me to make sure I understood and was willing to undertake the whole journey and not just the surgery. Then he told his staff to give me a surgery date. Pretty simple. I suppose if you have other risk factors you would be sent to have them checked out.

After I got the surgery date he told me to see my pcp for medical clearance, and he gave me a lab slip for chest x-ray, check for H pylori, and EKG.
