Well yeah. But what is the pre-op all about. My surgery is on the 21st this month!

Pret-op was the hardest part.

Once you are through that, you have the surgery and we get through it.

I guess my question wasn't clear enough. What all is usually covered at most pre-op appointments? I over think most everything and have untreated anxiety. So just trying to find out what happens at the pre-op appointments

I know all surgeon's are different but per the PA this is what will happen at my pre op appt which is a week before my surgery: During the pre-op appointment you will meet with a Nurse to provide instructions on when to arrive for surgery and how to prepare the night before, also Anesthesia, and Nurse Case Manager to be sure you have care for after you leave the hospital and myself. I will go over the bowel prep for the day before surgery and also the hospital course. You will have labs drawn to check your blood type along with your electrolytes and white/red blood cells.

Thank you! Sounds about right. I was told I will first go to the surgeons office and then 1 1/2 hours after that will go to the hospital but that is all I was told lol

I report directly to the hospital. I won't see my surgeon again until the day of surgery which is the 11/3. I'm getting so nervous as time gets closer but excited as well

I was supposed to have my surgery the 28th of September. So now my nerves are getting rattled again.

I have my pre op appt today. I will let you know what happens at my visit later.

I had my preop last week. Basically I bought the Protein shakes and Vitamins for my pre and post op diet. I also signed a lot of paperwork. The surgeon then asked if I have any questions, got my preop weight. I was told what to expect the day of surgery. The dr stressed the importance of walking after the surgery. I brought my mom with me, she had more questions than me which was good. Hope this helps!
