Pre op screening

Hey all, I go for my pre screwing at HRRH on Thursday an am just in looking for some info about the "pre screening day". I am a natural worrier and like to have an idea of what is to come. so can anyone tell me what is done at the pre screening "day". And the length of time it takes... I pick up my opti-fast right after as well to start on Monday!!!

It takes 2-4 hours for the pre-screening

you will have blood work, meet a nurse, have an ecg done and meet the anesthesiologist. Pretty much it.  

Blood again!?!? Lol what for now and are they draining me like they did last time haha

crystal, Do not fear, they need standard pre op testing within a certain amount of time prior to your surgery. You may also be sent for a chest xray depending on your age and or history of respiratory issues ie: asthma.

The time is more of a waiting game than anything, but all necessary in getting things organized. 

have fun!
