Pre-Op Tests

[hollybower 122]

How many of you had pre op testing and what was it? Is there anyone who didn't have anything pre-op tests besides the blood work?

My preop testing was tons of blood work at initial appointment with the surgeon, EKG, chest x-ray, and endoscopy. I will have more blood work right before the surgery as well. That was it!

Oh and the psych eval!

2 weeks prior to surgery, at the hospital, I had an EKG, Chest xray and blood work.

A bunch of electrolyte-specific tests on top of the full panels, a sleep study consult (no study ultimately required) and various other things by the pulmonologist, a barium swallow (the most awkward one of all), a chest x-ray, and the psych eval.

I just had to get a blood test.

The other surgeon in my area asks for a psych appointment so I skipped him, haha.
