Pre-Op Anesthesia Appointment- What happens?

[Tanyatata 28]

Tomorrow is my pre-op anesthesia appointment. Can someone tell me what happens at this appointment? I also see the surgeon too. 11/14 here I come!

Maybe it's where I'm from but there's no preoperative anesthesia appointments around here. If I had to guess they'll just ask you about your medical/surgical history medications, and take a look at your airway

My pre-op anesthesia appointment was just what Mhy12784 said. They talked to me about my surgery history, if I had ever had any complications due to anesthesia, or other muscle relaxants. They went over my health issues and history. Looked at my airway to see if they suspected there might be any issues with inserting the tube. Then noted the location of any crowns or loose teeth I might have.

If you're from the uk the anesthesia and pain appointment will be to talk over with you what you have to do on the day of the surgery and what to expect in regards of pain relief afterwards. Also to make sure someone will be able to take you home!

The surgeon then spoke to me briefly about the different types of biactric surgery and to confirm I definitely wanted the sleeve before then getting me to sign the documents and giving me some instructions for pre op.

Hope this helps!
