Pre Op Workup ?

[Beajay 7]

What are the specific pre-op assessments that are done prior to havng the procedure? Is an Endoscopy done? What happens if you arrive in MX and you ARE NOT cleared for surgery due to your pre-op workup? Just trying to consider all possible What if's....

thanks much ~

Following this post. I was wondering this just today...

I went through almost a day of pre-op tests at the hospital. These tests brought to light several problems or issues that needed further medical evaluation. As a result I then went through a second round of pre-op testing (3 detailed tests) done by specialist in their respective fields. This additional round of testing included a CT Scan, a sleep apnea assessment, and an hour long ultrasound.
