I am 11 days from surgery but have had a few surgeries this last year. It's usually bloodwork, and EKG and them just asking questions about your medications and general health stuff.

Dont worry. I have had a few surgeries.. Planned =) and unplanned =( .Just make sure you know if its fasting blood work you need to have done, or not. Dont eat before you go, if your not sure. I have accidently did this before, and had to wait til the next day. Added worry.

It will go well. :) and you will be fine.. Dont worry.

People with uncontrollable diabetes get lap band every day. You'll be just fine. :-)
