    Because they are going to give you anesthesia and they need to know what is going on with your body.

    They make sure there's no infection happening, blood counts are good, pregnancy test (sometimes), etc. Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App

    Typical pre-op work up for any surgery. FYI, mine also did a nicotine test to make sure I had none in my system....

    The surgical team has to make sure that you are "you", for one thing.

    They also check:

    blood type in case of transfusion need

    pregnancy test

    STD testing

    MSRA testing

    Narcotic testing

    Nicotine testing

    There's soooo much about us that is revealed through our blood.

    It's all routine.

    It's all good.

    Just relax and go to sleep ---wake up having had you WLS. :)
