Good morning! I have my preop this am and I could hardly sleep last night. Surg scheduled for july 11 and I guess I feel time is rolling. Wish me luck today! I think I'm a little worried they will tell me my iron is low. I have been taking my pills but I hope everything will be fine.

Good luck!

What do they do in preop??

Take blood , start iv and answer any last minute questions

Goodie it's over. Well all they did was ask every medical question they could then took a lot of blood, then chest X-ray, EKG. That is all. Only took an hr n half. My surg is July 11. Now butterflies begin...

Oh yea a ton of urine too. They do nicotine testing

Ahhhh how exiting, how do they do a nicotine test?

Urine! I think or blood. Girl I almost passé out from all the blood they took

Oh man. do you smoke?

Naaa not me. Used to help my hubby smoke a cigar every now and then but he quit last yr

I smoke 1 cigarette a night. I wonder if that will be a problem :/

I think it stats in system like 2 wks-1 month so be careful

You'll do great congratulations

Oh wow thats for the heads up. I go for my pre-op testing on monday. My surgery isn't till 8/15 so im hoping they can tell me every detail about it.

Yolyan...me too. I wanna know everything I can!

My surgery date is june 26. Im pretty excited I go in tomorrow and get blood drawn for a blood work. The 3day liquid diet before the surgery is gonna b tough but after the operation it will be worth it to know im gonna loose alot of weight. Good luck in your new beginnings!!!
