Can anyone tell me what all is done at pre op Dr visit and labs at the hospital? I have it on Fri oct 25th.

Well it's Kimble. You meet eith the surgeon or his/her team and they draw blood for 'last checks'. A good time to admit your nervousness and ask any questions!

It might be a bit different for some. My insurance wants me to see a nutritionist for 6 months, blood work, sleep test, cardio test, meet with the surgeon, endoscopy, 2 support groups, personal diet history letter, psychological evaluation and test ????, chest xray, pulmonary clearance, all kinds of "stuff".. ha ha, I guess it will help the time go. My first visit was 9/15. Got a ways to go for me. Good luck to you.

Sorry read that wrong.

At my pre op visit they did a EKG, blood drawn, urine taken, and a chest xray...well all that was done at the hospital. They explain to you what you have to do to prep for surgery also. At my doctors pre surgical approval visit. They reviewed the information from the pre op visit at the hospital. Doctor listened to my heart and asked my alot of questions. Then Basically I was approved by her to go for surgery.

Im having surgery tomorrow morning
