A lot of waiting. Bring a book or something.
I had mine last Monday, showed up at 1045ish for an 1130 appt, got in to see the nurse at 1230, had to have an ecg becuase Glazier's office had not forwarded the one they did at that appt,  bloodwork by 130,then sat to see the anesthesia Dr and was out by 2. 

Good luck!

It wasn't much. I saw her before I did the bloodwork so there was nothing for her to review, did my blood pressure & ecg there. General questions about health and any changes since "the last visit" which would have been my trio I guess.

Pretty sure I just went to pre op   They did blood and saw the nurse. A quick ECG  and asked general questions.  And then saw the Anaesthesiologist.   Crazy waiting though

I was there on Wednesday morning, in and out in an hour and a half. Saw the nurse, she checked my vitals, my bag of meds/vitamins and showed me what elevator to take when I go on Wednesday. Then had blood taken- only 4 vials this time, lol- and lastly spoke with the anesthesiologist for 5 minutes. You're almost there!

Everything goes pretty quick if they are not too busy. They are doing pre op for all patients not only bariatric. I assume you have waited a year and a half for this so this is pretty much the last of the appointment before actual surgery.  Goodluck.  And I thought Dr glazer office had the worst wait time.

Oohh, that opti pina colada sounds good. Might have to get that recipe from you. I love pina coladas. I start opti on June 6th.
