meeting the anesthetist happened the same time for me, you show up at hospital on assigned day about a week or so before surgery, meet with admittance and discuss whether you have insurance coverage for semi private room, then you will meet with NP for vitals and bloodwork, then an EKG, then the gass passer will review your meds and discuss what you should do prior to surgery, then you go home. If you had any sleep studies or cardiac tests during the bariatric approval program bringing results from these will help speed things up. I feel like i have forgotten something but its not presenting itself! Good luck, take a good book, they can be speedy or really slow.
