Anastasia interview?

I have to meet with my anostisiologist tomorrow and have no clue what to expect. Did anyone else have to do this?

I met with my anesthesiologist the day of surgery, basically he asked all the questions and I provided the answers.

I met the anesthesiologist the morning of the surgery. He was delightfully easy on the eyes. LOL! But to answer your question, no, I did not have to have any sort of meeting with him prior to the day of.

They just check a few things and ask questions. They're mostly concerned about your throat - how easily they can access your windpipe once you're out. For some people they need to put in a breathing tube before they put you out, so that's something they need to check for. (that's very uncommon, so not something for you to worry about, just saying it's something they need to check and plan for).

Yes. They'll ask what meds you're taking and will be concerned with your health as it relates to how folks respond to anesthesia. They'll want to know your history if you've ever been under before so they can give you the safest surgery. I'd been diagnosed with asthma and it was not well controlled so they sent me to a pulmonologist who ruled out asthma as the cause of my breathing problems. Once I had my EGD it was clear that reflux, not asthma was causing my chronic cough. This was easily treated with a PPI and hernia correction during my sleeve procedure. All very good things!
