I have my preop appointment this week.
Did anyone have trouble finding this in Baltimore.
I always seem to get lost when I go into Baltimore.
And where did you park?

Just something I'm worried about.
Don't want to be late.

What direction will you be coming from?

The easiest way is to take 295 north toward the city.  Just keep going straight as you go past M&T Stadium and Camden Yards, the road will take a sharp right and will automatically turn into South Paca Street.  When you reach the intersection at Pratt Street...continue to go straight but stay in the left lane.  Go straight through the light at Lombard St.  Take the very next left onto West Redwood St....you will see the entrance to the parking garage on your right (it goes underground).  Pull into the parking garage.  After you've parked..walk out of the garage and the main entrance to University will be on your right.  As soon as you enter the door, there is an information desk...they will give you the directions to the room you have to go to for your preop. 

Give yourself some extra time just in case you get lost and/or hit traffic.  It's usually not too bad in that area.

Good luck!!

Most of my pre op testing (upper gi, chest x-ray)was done on the first floor of the building where there office is and the hospital is across the street 3-5 min. walk. you can just leave your car at the valet parking at the office building.

I am challenged when it comes to finding my way around at times. Thank God for GPS. I found it, it was pretty easy. I parked in a garage right in front of the entrance. If I can find it...I have faith you can too!

Good luck!

I'm coming from Frederick so its around a 45 minute drive.
Thanks for all your help.
I feel better about finding it now!

I can't believe I'm almost there!

I understand! I had the same anxiety when I first started venturing in to B-more for my preop visits at the docs office and the hospital. Now I am totally fine. I park in the same parking garage each visit. It helps because its right between the hospital and the doctor office.

Good luck!

You were right.  I had no trouble finding it. 

They rescheduled my series 1 testing for yesterday so I got that done and my 6th month nutrition meeting. 

Does anyone know about how long from this point will surgery be?   March, April, May?  How long did yours take from your last NUT meeting?  I have to arrange for my husband and Mom to take off work because I have 2 year old twins and 2 other kids in school so they keep asking me when and I don't know what to tell them yet.  

At this point I just want to get it done!
