Hi guys can you guys tell me what to expect during my hospital preop appointment? Kinda nervous what all do they do

Thank you!

All I had to do was registration paperwork, urine sample for pregnancy test, a conversation about pre op diet compliance and post op etc. with bariatrice center rep, then short conversation with anesthesiologist. Pretty painless, but time consuming

Register and insurance info. Had blood work done. Nurse talked to me about where to go on the day of and what to expect and she gave me the antiseptic soap that I had to start washing with a few days before surgery. It was pretty easy. GL!

Ahhh ok that sounds good! Sounds pretty painless I am too nervous and excited I thought this day would never come I also had some blood work done a few weeks ago should I just bring them

Pretty sure I had to give a urine sample also. Not sure about taking your last blood draw results. They will probably want to take it again though.

@@Cdominguez,

Try not to be nervous. It is really about getting you registered, getting current blood samples which they usually do again the day of surgery to check for infections, Iron count etc, urine samples and giving you info you need.

Good luck! I hope you have a safe surgery and speedy recovery.

I had urine sample, final blood draw, and abdominal ultrasound. The ultrasound was to check for gallstones. I would have had an EKG but I had one only 3 weeks prior. Since it was less than 1 month and they had the results that was good.

I was given my special soap to use the night before surgery. I was told no make-up, no nail polish on toes or fingers. I was given my bariatric bible with the pre-op and post op diet information. I had an appointment with the program's NUT. I used a different one I used for my 6 month pre-approval diet since I am an hour plus from my surgeon.

I got to meet one of the hospital internists that would monitor my non-surgical medical stuff like my blood pressure meds. They just took a history and did a brief physical.

Nothing scary.

Ahhh ok whew can't believe it's so close I am really afraid of gaining the weight back since its a sleeve not the bypass
