So after 6 months going to appointments every four weeks to see what I ate during the day that my insurance required and going to a physic consult,endoscopy and nutritionist also blood work. I finally got approval for surgery. Now I have a Appointment on July 22, 2024 for pre-op. My question is what to expect for that day?????

Pre op for me was a blood test, EKG, and since my pcp did my preop I also got a b12 shot

I have this appointment coming up as well, thanks for asking, as I was wondering the same. I am excited!

My pre-op was just to make sure I,had done all the required blood work (dr requires cross and type etc but only 14 days before surgery). And any last minute questions I may have had for my dr. Then his assistant gave me a sheet of what to do the night before and morning. Of surgery, like showering, shaving and eating etc. every dr is going to be different but mostly just last minute things that need to,be done closest to,your surgery day. Good luck to you

My preop included getting a upper GI barium study ( just swallowed some thick koolaid tasting fluid, while being x-rayed) I also had a renal/gallbladder ultra sound, cbc with type and cross, EKG, chest x-ray, surgeon visit, and I preadmitted to the hospital, and spoke with the preop nurse. Whew...its alot right, it took about 8 hours at the hospital.

It's different for everyone...my preop was just to have the surgeon clear you for surgery. I have a secondary preop the day before just to go over paperwork. I won't even see a doctor that day

Hallo
