Does anyone know if they are going to draw more blood day of surgery? I've had lab work done twice now, with one being a week and a half ago, and my surgery is this Tuesday May 5th. Just curious ???? thanks in advance..

I did the morning of surgery. It was drawn from my IV.

Thanks. They sure do need an awful lot don't they lol..

They definately will drawn blood the morning of surgery. They watch to make sure you don't have a potential infection before doing surgery. Also they check your blood count as well as some other things.

Good luck on your surgery. I wish you a safe and speedy recovery!

I didn't have any blood drawn the day od surgery, but did the morning after. I did pre-op labs two weeks before.

I was banded in Nov 2002. I have lost 73 lb and am thrilled. I love my band and believe it is the best wls surgery around. Good luck to all the new bandee's!!!! Donna

Prayers all goes well with your surgery! Keep me posted so I'll know what to expect!

Did you have labs done pre-op too? Like right before day of surgery..

They drew blood the day of surgery and also the day after. Not sure why. I felt like a pin cushion while in the hospital. Good luck on your surgery!
