They have to get you all set for surgery... Nurses take all your medical history and also get IV's started... Pretty basic stuff

Ahhhhhh I'm so excitedddd !!!

good luck :)

Thank you !! :)

When I had my surgery, I had to enter the hospital two hours early. Surprisingly, the staff took me back immediately. It seems my physician wanted an entire bag of fluids infused prior to surgery and that took nearly 1 hr 30 minutes then they started adding the antibiotics to the next bag. Maybe that is the answer to your question. Good luck to you.

Congrats and good luck and I wish you a speedy recovery.
