I have a pre-op appt this thursday and I was wondering what do they actually do? Will they be doing blood work? I have no clue, this is my first time getting surgery.

First I seen my DR. in his office and he just talked to me about the surgery asked if i had any more questions. Then he sent me to the hospital where I has having my surgery, they took my medical history, took my blood, ran an EKG, let me talk to the anesthesiologist, and went over the restrictions no food or drinks after midnight, can only brush your teeth, no mints or gum, etc.

I had to have an upper GI, and they found a big old ulcer hiding there. Also had to have an EKG which I failed, so had to have a Cardiac catheterization, and spent 2 days in the hospital because they found a kidney problem too. By the time I get cleared for surgery, they will know every little secret my body has ever had. Which I guess is a good thing.:blushing: Pickle6

At the pre-op appointment they weighed me and took my vitals. Then I spoke to the doctor. The doctor gave me lab slips for an upper GI and a Hpy-lori test. That was it. Blood work happened weeks later.
