I know a pregnancy test was part of it for women. They may also test for nicotine. Otherwise, I don't remember.

Ask your surgeon

There will be at least a blood and probably urine test

Also an ekg (check your heart)

I think it depends on what your doc orders.....I'm having a chest x-ray and swallow test....that's it so far.

Hi Everyone,

Our Group's Surgeons have full blood work done, EKG and Chest X-ray as part of their Pre-op tests.

There may also be additional test done as well, depending on the patient's medical history.

I forgot to mention that I had recently had some blood work and an EKG done at my PCP so they just used those results rather than repeating the same tests.

I had to do a blood test which looked for some sort of stomach infection.

I have also had all that, plus a sleep study and egd. Oh, and I have asthma so I have to have pulmonary function test too

Have you had the test yet? I had mine when I was sick, and have asmtha and scored a 62%. Worried now that insurance will complain on this score....

They may want you to see a pulmonologist to sign off.
