I just had my pre-op today. It consisted of meeting with my surgeon, one hour nutrition class going over poe-op diet as well as lots post-op diet and general stuff, then I got to go get more blood work to ensure my Vitamin levels were good, a chest x-ray and an eeg (or was it EKG... The one that takes longer to hook up than to run)...

My surgeon was running an hour behind but all that only took 3 hours.

Hope that helps.

Thank you so much. I've been on my liquid diet for a week tomorrow. My surgery is set for a week from tomorrow on November 18. Hope I don't have to do all of that also but I'll do it if it's required. Lol. I already had my surgery postponed a few weeks due to my thyroid level being low. That's in the clear, now.

My pre-op appointment was also 2 hours. 1 hour with the surgeon going over all the risks and benefits and alternatives. Then an hour with the coordinator going over what will happen right before and after surgery.

Had my pre-op appt today. It was scheduled for 2 hours but was over in an hour. It was with the nurse. When this all started, I started with a seminar just to hear what was what. I had labs done. Xrays. EKG. Lung test. Lymphedema treatments (those continue). Meetings with dietician and exercise therapist and surgeon. Two 2-hour long educational classes-very informative. Today's appt was with the nurse for a refresher on majority of things that were covered in the classes with a few new things. They were just making sure the patient isn't bombarded all at once or blindsided. Love my doc and his whole staff. So, I've been on the liquid diet solid for 1 week with 1 week left. Then, it's surgery on the 18th at 7:30 am. I am the first case. WOO HOO!
