Wahoo for June surgeries, this is OUR month!

What did pre-op testing consist of? I went yesterday. I had a brief meeting with a nut' date=' a nurse, and a physician's assistant. They all asked me the same questions. What are you allergic to? Have you purchased vitamins and protein supplements? Who is driving you to and from surgery. I was given a kit which contained two small bottles of soap and and five washcloths. (I was told to wash the surgical area for five days prior to surgery with this kit.) Blood work was the only test that was given. I am a band revision. I am 100% confident in my surgeon. He is one of the best in my state. I just thought there would be more tests. So ready for this!!!!! Monday can't come soon enough.[/quote']

I went in, answered numerous questions, got the normal checks (BP, pulse etc), blood work then was taken for an EKG and an X-Ray. Easy, just took forever.

My surgery date is June 24. I start my pre-op diet June 10th. Nervous and excited.

Omg! I'm June 21st and I start my pre op liquid diet on the 11th very excited
