Pre op testing

My pre op testing is scheduled 7/7 and they said it would take about 3 hours. What tests can I expect to be given?

At mine they did a weigh in blood pressure temp blood work urine test chest X-ray talked to several diff ppl I will tell u allow for more time than they say I ended up being there for 5 hours u go to one area for this u wait on to another area for something else and u wait etc etc

At the beginning of my program there was a blood draw for a slew of tests, including a fasting gluclose, a urinalysis, a stool sample (looking for H Pylori), and an EKG.

At the end, just before our surgical consult, another blood draw and fasting gluclose, another EKG, and that was it.

Then there was a psychological evaluation and meeting with an internist, which was done on the same day as the surgical consult.

Didn't they give you a book outlining all of your tests? I'd be a little worried about that if they didn't....Mine are gallbladder ultrasound, upper GI (chalk drink), and an EKG (plus blood, etc. above). 3 hour duration.
