Pre-op appointment and surgery date
So got my call today that my surgery will be January 6th! Meaning my pre op appointment date is the 20th of this month. I guess it will be a great start to a new year. I know theres other threads about what happens at the pre op but i was wondering what all that entails? I am sure its a few hour appointment?
Congrats on your date. a great start of the new year and a whole new you.
When I went for my pre-op I had to fill out a paper with questions medical. Then I had my EKG done and my blood work. Than I was taken into a room to talk to a nurse. She asked me so many questions about myself and my medical history. Every surgery, meds and allergies. Took a long time to do all this. After this I saw the lady doctor that puts you to sleep. She goes over everything with you like what meds you take the day of surgery.If I was allergic to any meds.That was it.
Except that, that is far as I got cos they had to find out why I had received 4 units of blood in a month and a half. So now I am in a holding place.lol I have to see another doctor in Halifax about that.They think it is my spleen.
Anyway that is all I can remember. It took a little over 3 hours for me. I hope that helped you.
