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?
what do you wanna be when you grow up little girl? i wanna be a loser and sit on the bench sir! (45 lbs lost pre op) 300lbs starting weight, currently 141lbs! Lowest has been 135lbs and hoping to get back to that.
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.
