@@TanishaP I'm the same date. Pre-Admission Testing usually consists of a chest xray, EKG, probably some bloodwork (if not already done) and a meeting with the Anesthesiologist. They may review your medications and provide instructions for you pre-op and the day of surgery.

@DJ's Nana @@TanishaP I just got my pre-adm testing appointment with instructions. Here's what it says..

What to expect during your PAT Appointment:
-- Your pre-admission testing appointment will last approx. 1.5 hours.
-- Please bring a detailed list of ALL medications or your medication
bottles that you currently take, including over-the-counter meds.
-- You will receive a comprehensive nursing assessment and pre-operative
instructions.
-- Your visit may include a brief medical history, physical exam and
anesthesia by a nurse practioner.
-- You will have any indicated blood tests, EKG and/or a Chest X-Ray.
-- To avoid excess testing, provide the PAT department with all results of
tests performed within the past month.
On the day of your pre-admission testing, please remember to:
-- Eat normally - no need to fast.
-- Take your usual medication(s), unless you have been instructed
otherwise by your surgeon.
-- Bring all medications with you or a list of all the medications you
take, including over-the-counter medications.
-- Bring your medical insurance card and license/photo ID with you.
-- Wear comfortable clothes, and refrain from using body lotions, oils or
powder that morning (deodorant is okay).
